Eleven gangs that made up to £1.1m across eight months of drug dealing were busted in a major undercover police probe.
The rival outfits took over a town’s parks, playgrounds and streets - often peddling misery in front of children. They were brought down by an operation described by a judge as “diligent and clever”.
But several of the gangs were also busted by their own stupidity and arrogance. Pictures and recordings collected by Cheshire Police highlighted how the criminals - many of whom are now behind bars - thought they were untouchable.
