The 'figurehead' of a drugs gang led an operation so 'prolific' which meant the group often ran out of bags. The group of dealers sold thousands of pounds worth of cocaine across Shirebrook under the helm of Thomas Carlisle.
Prosecutor Jonathan Cox described the group as a "prolific organisation" - and went on to suggest just how active they were. "Thomas Carlisle was the figurehead head of that group organising the day-to-day dealing run by the group. So busy was the group they often ran out of bags to supply (the users)," Mr Cox said.
Mr Cox added Carlisle used the bank accounts of his partners to deposit £120,000. "It was significant, organised, class A trafficking," Mr Cox said.
