County lines gangleader used phone lines to send bulk marketing messages

A Nottinghamshire gangleader who supplied drugs to an Oxfordshire town has been jailed after his operation was thwarted. .

Njie, who had been living at addresses in Eastwood and Hucknall in Nottinghamshire, used phone lines to send out bulk marketing messages to drug users and instruct customers where to get them from. After learning of this criminal enterprise, detectives from Nottinghamshire Police started to use cell site data to map his movements and analysed his phone content and transfer of data.

As a result officers were able to obtain evidence Njie had been travelling from Nottinghamshire to the Oxfordshire market town to contact lower-level drug dealers involved in the operation and customers. Following an extensive investigation Njie was arrested after police spoke to occupants who were in a car in the Radford area on March 11, 2021.

Detective Inspector Luke Todd, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “As our complex work in cases like this one shows, we are continuing to do everything in our power to prosecute criminals involved in organised drug crime and to safeguard our communities and vulnerable young people who they prey upon and exploit for their own gain."
