Tyneside organised crime group members supplied drugs around the world on dark web

Two members of a Tyneside-based organised crime group involved in a worldwide drugs distribution network have been jailed.

A multi-million pound dark web operation supplying narcotics in the UK and as far afield as the USA, Israel and Thailand was busted by officers from the National Crime Agency. We reported last year how Mubinar Rahman had been jailed for nine years for his part in the gang, which was involved in more than 50 kilos of MDMA, 40,000 ecstasy tablets and more than 100 kilos of amphetamine.

Now Daniel Daymond and Robbie Arnold, described as "postmen" and who were also involved in storing some of the drugs, have also been jailed for their roles. Two bosses of the South Shields-based gang remain at large, Newcastle Crown Court heard.
