Three men who collectively smuggled over 31 KILOS of cocaine with a street value of over £1 million into Manchester Airport from the Caribbean have been jailed.
Devon Rowe, Baboucarr Nyang and Winston Andrew were sentenced at Manchester Crown Court on Thursday for their roles in a conspiracy that saw the drugs brought into Manchester Airport hidden in deconstructed suitcases on a number of occasions between June 18, 2018, and January 9, 2019, in what Judge Rachel Smith called a 'professional operation'.
The court heard how the group used Whatsapp to communicate with co-conspirators in the Caribbean, going by the names of 'John-John' and 'Kiddy JG' to transport over £1 million worth of 'low purity' cocaine into the UK via drug mules. The cocaine was then taken on to London for 'onward distribution'.
