Member of organised crime gang jailed for 11 years for role in drugs plot

A member of an organised crime gang has been jailed for 11 years for his role in a large drugs plot aimed at flooding the streets of Tyneside with cocaine and amphetamine.

As previously reported, the group used a van with a secret trap door and encrypted phones to ship the drugs to the North East from Liverpool. Last month, head honcho John Allock was locked up for 21 years and five others got sentences ranging from a year to 13 years.

Now, Paul Marrow, 62, of Rainford Road, Dentons Green, Merseyside, who admitted Conspiracy to Supply Class A drugs, has been jailed for 11 years for his role as a courier.
