He was part of an international drugs gang which imported £1 million worth of cocaine and cannabis into the country
A Scot has been jailed after being convicted as part of an international drugs gang which imported £1 million worth of cocaine and cannabis into the country.
Prosecutor Anthony Pettengell read the messages to the court, detailing conversations between Moore and Snowdon asking him to supply a gun and body armour. Messages showed Moore complaining of the difficulties of "getting firearms into the UK." Moore, Brown and Snowdon made plans to grow a 20kg crop of cannabis, on a 30 by 30 metre stretch of land, that they say would yield them "90-120k." The group chat referred to pistols as "scorpions" and shotguns as "gotties."
Rod Hunt, representing Moore, said that his client had only become involved in crime in his 40's: "When he was arrested, he said, 'I think it saved my life.' How sad is that? When one looks through this miserable set of factors, there is one silver lining to these clouds." "Dodkins - this was mainly your enterprise, you sourced the firearms. Moore, your DNA was found on the weapons. You, like Dodkins, supplied significant quantities of cocaine. You offered handguns and ammunition for sale.
