A drug trafficking ring using a 'graft phone' known as Scouse Joey was dismantled by undercover police posing as drug users.
Daniel Ryan, 28, from Liverpool, was involved in a conspiracy to flood Exeter, Plymouth, Dorset and Cornwall with heroin and cocaine. Undercover police mounted an operation to smash the county lines network, reports Devon Live.
The force found Ryan later formed a second group, teaming up with co-defendants James Clinton and Michael Dickinson to supply to users in Plymouth and Newquay.
