![]() ![]() When he was not available, wife Sarah, 40, would step in to run the operation. One of the gang was found to be operating out of prison using a clandestine phone, even planning to bring drugs into the jail with the aid of a drone. Warwickshire Police’s Serious Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) said its successful Operation Scorecard probe took out the biggest organised crime group known to have been operating in the county. When the trailer was forced open, the weapons and associated ammunition, as well as more drugs, were discovered. ![]() The group also inadvertently gave away the hiding place to their cache of 15 firearms – after a dashcam recovered from a vehicle linked to the gang recorded them moving a lorry trailer into field, where it was then hidden behind a hedge. Much of it was found hidden in the wardrobe of a child’s bedroom or an adjacent pink suitcase, when an address connected to the group was raided. The gang trafficked amphetamines, ecstasy, crack cocaine, cannabis and cocaine worth £1.3m from Liverpool into the South and East Midlands. An entire organised crime group - including two married couples and a gang member who adopted the name of Al Pacino’s famous drugs kingpin in the film Scarface - has been dismantled after a five-year police sting. ![]()
