Four members from Lancashire have been given jail sentences totalling 55 years
A large organised crime group, known for trafficking millions of pounds worth of 'high-purity' cocaine marked with a unique tiger logo, has been dismantled by undercover police officers.
In October 2021, when police arrested Mulligan as part of the original investigation, the following day, Jonathan Smith stopped using his mobile device and stopped activating ANPR cameras in Nelson and Blackpool, clearly feeling the pressure of Greater Manchester Police. To further remove him from the potential attention of police, the OCG replaced him with Jacob Smith, who took over his courier role until March 2022.
During this period, the group were responsible for the movement of at least 75 kilos of high purity cocaine, which has an estimated street sale value of £7.5million. However, the total figure this group were involved with is suspected to exceed this. Hague was observed back to West Yorkshire where he was stopped by police on Scholes Street in Bradford. In the back of his car, police recovered two solid parcels wrapped in brown parcel tape and plastic, bearing a distinctive tiger emblem on the packaging.
Police also recovered brown plastic wrappings from blocks of cocaine discarded in the in the kitchen. These were almost identical to wrappings recovered from a different location earlier in the investigation.
