The final two members of the organised crime group have now been sentenced
Hundreds of officers were involved in a major policing operation as they tracked down an organised crime gang which operated a stash house in Nottingham. Detective Sergeant Adam Petty has revealed details from one of the largest operations that he has been involved in his career - which has seen a total of 45 people from Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Lancashire jailed for their part in the conspiracy.
The enforcements, which started in June 2021, were across 11 different lines with officers "looking at a whole range of different organised crime groups, county lines and local lines". Police executed a warrant at the stash house on Belconnen Road, Nottingham, from where drugs were flooded to neighbouring counties. Officers found £10,000 worth of drugs and a firearm at the property.
Both men were members of the organised crime gang dubbed the Django Line which was responsible for taking drugs from the cross-border stash houses into Lincoln and dealing in the high street and other areas. Police said it is estimated that in just 59 days, the OCG made almost £20,000 worth of drug deals.
Det Sgt Petty said that "thousands and thousands went into this investigation". During sentencing, Judge Sjolin Knight praised the investigative team, saying: "I have been very impressed by this investigation. I commend all the officers and civilian investigators for their excellent and vital work, and for the good of society."
