A Liverpool drug gang used the Royal Mail postal service to send millions of pounds worth of street drugs and prescription medication across the country and abroad.
The criminal gang used a storage unit in a Birkenhead business park to deliver up to £2.7million of MDMA, ecstasy, cocaine, magic mushrooms, LSD, and ketamine.
Step-siblings Benjamin Crane, 35, and Abbey Crane, 24, alongside Kay Davies, 64, Bradley Gene Grey, 43, and Kylie Collins, 36, used the dark web to distribute hundreds of thousands of class A drug pills and prescription tablets, and kilos of powders.
The gang operated ‘like a business’ and used pre-postages labels and shipped orders from a post office in a local convenience store using Royal Mail to deliver the drugs.
Cocaine and ecstasy were found inside the Birkenhead storage unit, and police later seized up to £2.7m worth of drugs.
These included 125,550 ecstasy tablets worth up to £1.3m as well as 8kg of cocaine, 7kg of MDMA powder, 2kg of cocaine, 454g of magic mushrooms, 4kg of LSD and 230 2CB tablets.
Over 320,000 prescription tablets including Tapentadol, Diazepam and Tramadol were also seized by Merseyside Police.
