Gang leaders jailed for smuggling almost £1.5m of drugs in Cornwall and Devon

Members mostly from Merseyside often posed as holidaymakers to transport heroin and cocaine

Leaders of a gang of drug dealers who smuggled almost £1.5m of heroin and cocaine into Cornwall and Devon, often posing as holidaymakers and sometimes using camper vans as cover, have been given long jail terms.

The main players in the conspiracy were a tight-knit group of family and friends mostly based in Merseyside who used local people in the south-west to help store and distribute the drugs.
