Police have released images of six people jailed over their role in a prolific drugs gang. The members of a Shirebrook drugs gang who dealt hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of class A drugs in the town have been jailed for a combined total of 45 years.
Thomas Carlisle headed up the gang which handled and distributed huge quantities of cocaine between May 2018 and July 2020. Officers executed a series of warrants in the town in July 2020 as part of Operation Nelly, a dedicated investigation into the supply of illegal substances.
Cocaine and thousands of pounds worth of cash were found at properties associated with the group and arrests and gang members were charged. Carlisle, 30, of Church Drive, Shirebrook, who had enjoyed a lavish lifestyle thanks to the proceeds of the group's criminal activity, appeared at Derby Crown Court for sentencing on August 25.
