Summary
A 24-year-old drug kingpin, Victor Kihu, has been jailed for six years and five months for orchestrating a brutal “cuckooing” operation in Aberdeen, where vulnerable residents were coerced into letting criminals use their homes as drug dens. Part of a gang called Harlem, Kihu directed others to sell cocaine and heroin, moving victims between safe houses and dealing spots across the border. Police uncovered drug activity at eight locations, seized over 385 drug packages and £8,000 in cash, and found damning messages on his phone. Arrested on a bus in Perth, Kihu now faces the full weight of the law after exploiting the most vulnerable to fuel a deadly county lines network.
