An experienced drug dealer was helped to flood a city with cocaine and heroin by a gang who drove him between London and south Wales and facilitated and carried out deals. Davanual Linton ran a county lines number known as the Max Line, using five different phones to do so and making over £70,000 in the space of three months.
He was aided by a four-strong group who between them provided him with transport and accommodation, while also setting up and carrying out deals on the streets of Swansea during the height of the coronavirus pandemic.
Linton, 28, of London, was arrested on two occasions, having been caught stuffing huge amounts of cash down the side of a car seat before later telling police he was visiting his grandmother when he was apprehended leaving an address in the city. The rest of the gang were also caught, with one member pretending he was going for a run when officers caught him approaching a potential drug deal.
