Members of a drug gang which flooded the streets of Leeds with class A drugs and fuelled gang-related machete attacks have been jailed for 42 years.
More than 50 people were arrested and more than half a million pounds worth of class A drugs were recovered along with £20,000 in cash, machetes, swords and combat knives after specialist detectives from Leeds District Programme Precision Team, which targets serious and organised crime, launched two phases which were the result of a year-long investigation.The majority of those arrested during the most recent operation were charged with offences linked to the supply of class A drugs.
Marcus Thomas and Burgon were also charged along with five others with two counts of conspiracy to supply heroin and crack cocaine between November 25, 2021 and April 25, 2022. When officers executed a search warrant at co-conspirator Francis Harvey’s address in Torre Hill, Burmantofts, they found 5kg of heroin with an estimated street value of £500,000. Those involved in the conspiracies were also charged with various other individual supply or possession with intent to supply offences.
