A drug gang leader's driver has joined him behind bars for his role in a plot to flood the North East with heroin and cocaine.
David Lindsay was roped into helping Ryan O'Connor in order to pay off his son's significant drug debts. Newcastle Crown Court heard he drove to Bradford with O'Connor 36 times over a nine-month period after he and his son were threatened and assaulted.
Lindsay, 61, was found to have been involved after police examined mobile phone and camera data. We reported last year how the rest of the heroin and cocaine gang, who were raking in huge profits, was smashed after police infiltrated encrypted chats.
