A gang turned a Welsh cottage into a factory producing hundreds of kilos of amphetamine. Police said the cottage was used on a "multi-million pound commercial scale".
Gang members Anthony Saunderson, Paul Mount and Darren Owens are currently being sentenced with six others at Liverpool Crown Court after being convicted of a range of drugs offences committed throughout 2020. Details of the multi-million pound scheme can be reported for the first time after a judge lifted reporting restrictions on the case.
North Wales Live reported that the group was discovered after the Encrochat messaging service, popular with criminals because of its high security, was hacked by law enforcement officers in mid-2020 as part of a cross border investigation, said Nicola Daley, prosecuting.
