A North Wales gang that smuggled drugs from Liverpool have wreaked "misery" across communities, a judge said.
Seven people have been jailed for a total of more than 64 years for their part in a plot to flood Wrexham with heroin and crack cocaine worth £745,000, North Wales Live reports. The drugs were bought in Liverpool and transported to North Wales to an "area manager" Jake Luke Rowley, 25, who supervised street dealers.
Using covert surveillance cameras, police launched Operation Lancelot to target the 19 people who were reported to be supplying cocaine and heroin between April 12, 2020 and October 14, 2020. The first seven of the 19 individuals appeared before Caernarfon Crown Court on March 16 with more sentencings to follow this week.
