Face of Nottingham dealer who was linked to organised crime group

Police have released images of a Nottingham drug dealer who was jailed after police linked him to organised crime including firearms possession and money laundering. Appearing at Nottingham Crown Court on Thursday, January 26, JJ Logan Cross, of Camrose Close, Bilborough, was sentenced to nine years in jail.

Officers launched an investigation after intelligence suggested the 22-year-old was selling drugs in Nottinghamshire as part of a County Lines organised crime group. Two months later, a box containing a sawn-off shotgun, three other firearms and ammunition was found in a garage in Beeston. County CID detectives found Cross’ fingerprint on the box and components of his DNA were discovered on two of the weapons. A further lock-up garage in Wollaton had already been linked to him by the County Lines team and when it was searched in February 2022 further ammunition, a large amount of Class A drugs, cash and a stolen motorbike were found.

Detective Inspector Nikki Smith, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was a great piece of investigative work by two police teams working closely together. The officers’ skill and dedication has resulted in us taking potentially lethal firearms and large quantities of drugs off the streets. “After today’s sentencing, it has also allowed us to put this individual behind bars for a significant amount of time. The hefty sentence handed down to Cross sends a clear message to other organised criminals operating in the area and causing misery in our communities."

Well he has no idea how to hold his hoard of firearms, certainly wouldn’t be very effective if he rocked up to a firefight like that 😂
