Three men involved in a County Lines drug dealing operation transporting Class A drugs between Shropshire and Liverpool have been jailed for a total of 15 years.
Three "trusted lieutenants" in a County Lines drug dealing operation have been jailed for a combined 15 years.Harry Wright, Chase Kilty and Lewis Stewart were sentenced for their part in 'Operation Boris', a drug supply line running heroin and crack cocaine from Liverpool to Oswestry.
As well as the drug dealing charges, Wright was also being sentenced for an attack on a man who challenged him over dealing in Oswestry town centre. Wright struck him in the head twice, and watched him bleed before walking away. Wright, aged 20, and Kilty, both of no fixed abode, were found guilty of two counts of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs.
The trio's"modern slavery" defence was rejected by a jury at their trial last May. The court heard that while there was a level of exploitation at play to get them involved in the drug gang, they were"ready and willing to play their part", and rejected offers from social services and the police to help them find a way out.
