Seven people have been put behind bars for a total of more than 64 years for their part in a plot to flood a town with heroin and crack cocaine worth £745,000.
North Wales Live reports how some of the 19 conspirators bought the drugs in Liverpool and then brought them back to their organised crime group in Caia Park in Wrexham.
But police using covert surveillance cameras launched Operation Lancelot to catch the plotters for a crime which could wreak "misery" on North Wales communities, said a judge. On Wednesday, March 16 the first seven of the 19 individuals were jailed at Caernarfon Crown Court for conspiring to supply crack cocaine and heroin between April 12, 2020, and October 14, 2020. More sentencings will follow this week.
