Summary
Three drug lords ran an industrial-scale mail operation out of a Bury warehouse, packing and shipping thousands of parcels stuffed with cocaine, MDMA, ketamine, LSD, and mushrooms — totaling at least 19kg of cocaine and street value over $2 million. Using fake addresses and encrypted phones, they turned the Royal Mail into their delivery system. Police dismantled the entire operation, leading to sentences of 11+ years for two and 6 years for the third — a stark warning that no drug ring is too big or too clever to escape justice.
