A "county lines" drugs gang which plotted to flood the streets with large volumes of high-purity cocaine has been jailed.
Mark Shergold played a leading role in the conspiracy to supply class A drugs, alongside Dennis Cairns and David Waterhouse. A court heard Shergold was living a "lavish lifestyle" way beyond any legitimate means he had.
He was convicted after a trial while Cairns and Waterhouse admitted their involvement. Now Shergold has been jailed for 15 years while Cairns got 63 months and Waterhouse was given 308 days, resulting in his immediate release given the time he has spent on remand.
