Police swoop at M6's Tebay Services smashed multi-million pound drugs racket

A police swoop on England's best loved motorway services smashed a multi-million pound drugs operation. Stephen Buckley and Scott Chadwick-Greer, from Thornton-Cleveleys, were stopped in September last year at Tebay services on the M6 in Cumbria.

Lancashire Constabulary's Serious and Organised Crime Unit launched Operation Black Forest following their arrests which found that they were part of an organised crime group responsible for collecting multi-kilo consignments of cocaine from ports in the south of England and transporting them into Lancashire and beyond.

Detective Chief Inspector James Edmonds said: "This is yet another example of Lancashire’s Serious and Organised Crime Unit’s relentless efforts to take drugs off our streets by combatting their supply. The activities of drug dealers can have such a negative effect on our communities.
