Stephen King, from Dumbarton, was one of a drugs ring that trafficked truckloads of heroin and cocaine between Merseyside and Scotland
A drug gang member from Scotland has been handed an 18-month sentence after being caught in a National Crime Agency sting that brought down a £1.1million cross-country drugs factory.
In December 2020, police used spike strips to stop a lorry carrying 560kg of alpha-phenylacetoacetamide , a chemical used to make amphetamine, after it had been loaded up at a warehouse near Blackpool. If it had made its way to Scotland, cops estimate it could have produced 1,000kg of the drug, worth £1.1million.
Earle, King, Feerick and Baxter were convicted in December last year, and faced sentencing at Liverpool Crown Court today. Scotsman King, who has four previous convictions for five offences, was sentenced to 18 months in prison, suspended for 18 months, as well as 100 hours of unpaid work and a rehabilitation activity requirement.
