26-strong drug gang who flooded streets of Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre jailed for 130 years
An organised crime gang who wreaked misery after flooding Blackpool's streets with hard drugs have been jailed for more than 130 years.
One of those who helped him was James Black who at the time was serving a prison sentence for drug trafficking offences. During his time in prison, Black had access to four different phone numbers and evidence showed him to be in contact with drug deal lines. Det Insp Kathryn Riley of Lancashire Police, said: “This was a complex investigation which targeted the activity of offenders bringing large quantities of Class A drugs into the Blackpool, Wyre and Fylde areas. We targeted people operating at different levels within organised crime groups.
