A street dealing gang sold hard drugs to addicts next to a children’s playground.
The ‘Lenny Line’ told customers that, with them, there was “no waiting, no debating” as they peddled heroin and crack cocaine. Its key members were brought down as part of a major undercover police probe codenamed Operation Spartan.
The ‘Lenny Line’ was a Class A dealing network that operated on the streets of Warrington. Outlining its activities Henry Riding, prosecuting, said it advertised through ‘flare messages’ - texts sent out to addicts - that, in this case, offered drugs that would “blow your mind”, that were “dynamite” and were so good there should be “no waiting, no debating” about purchasing them.
