Drugs worth thousands of pounds and a gun were found at the stash house in Nottingham
Drugs worth thousands of pounds and a gun were found at a stash house in Nottingham leaving terrified neighbours in shock. It comes as the final two members of an organised crime group were sentenced at Lincoln Crown Court on January 20.
"People moved here for this. They were dealing cocaine, heroin. You could feel the smell of weed. Everyone knew about it." Mr Green, aged 35, said the flats on Belconnen Road were built for nurses and hospital staff. "They were finished 20 years ago", he added. A resident, who wished to remain anonymous, added: "It is a lot better than it used to be - but the flats have always been very dodgy. It came to the point where it does not surprise me when I see blue lights.
Detective Sergeant Adam Petty, from Lincolnshire Police's Serious and Organised Crime Unit, led the operation which has seen a total of 45 people from Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Lancashire jailed for their part in the conspiracy. He told Nottinghamshire Live that this was one of the largest operations that he has been involved in his career.
