How Uk police put surveillance on a multi million drug gang and seized 50 kilos on the motorway
On 11 May 2023, they used courier Anthony Warhurst to pick up 50kg from a port in Harwich, Essex which had come in on a shipment from Holland. On his way back to the North West, officers stopped him on the motorway where he was arrested with the drugs which had a street value of more than £5 million pounds. Officers were able to evidence that Warhurst had made multiple trips to Harwich on the direction on Stephens and Buller, who were arrested later that day. Stephens and Buller have been evidenced distributing approximately 230kg of Cocaine during the conspiracy period with a street value of over £23 million pounds.
As a result of Operation Matrix, a NWROCU investigation into the multi-kilo importation and distribution of Class A drugs throughout the UK, nine of the defendants entered guilty pleas last year, and the one remaining, Scott Owen was convicted on 25 January 2024 following a trial.
The investigation began in March 2022 when Cumbria Police asked NWROCU detectives for help in bringing down a local drug dealer, Reece Barnes, who was responsible for selling cocaine in the Windermere area.
Detectives monitored his whereabouts and gathered evidence of his meetings in country lanes with Cheshire-based OCG Stephen Stockall, where he would trade kilogramme quantities of cocaine for £30,000 in cash.

They haven’t. Murder is fixed by law in the UK to life imprisonment. I presume you’re thinking of the minimum tariff where an individual can be eligible for release on license; even in such cases they are not free, their conditions are strict, and they remain on license for life subject to recall at any time.

@@tb3616 It is; it’s fixed by law. Look at the sentencing council guidelines (they’re available online). It’s split into two tariffs: the minimum term order and the whole life order. The former enables the individual to apply for release on license to the parole board after they’ve served their minimum term. The sentence is still life - those that are released on license remain so until the end of their natural life; subject to recall at any time.
Where do you think the drugs and evidence collected goes? Back on the streets 🤣. People need to understand, if nobody’s committing crime then police have no jobs.

The problem now days for anyone involved in crime is that if you use any phone/device to conduct your business the police have access to even some encrypted information and once they obtain one device involved in the running of anything illegal they have the means and knowhow to link others involved in the conspiracy.
