An all-female gang at the heart of a major cocaine trafficking operation that flooded Britain’s streets with drugs worth £13.6million have been jailed.
The group were part of a sophisticated supply network that delivered more than 170 kilos of high-purity cocaine to locations across the UK in just four months, using encrypted messaging, secret passwords and last-minute drop-off points to evade capture.
Their operation was ultimately smashed when one of their couriers was caught red-handed in London carrying a large haul of drugs worth £80,000.
Officers from the Organised Crime Partnership – a joint unit between the National Crime Agency and Metropolitan Police – uncovered the conspiracy, which was regularly supplying large quantities of Class A drugs into the capital.
