At the center of this operation was Hardeep Thind, aka Harry Singh, already serving 17 years for armed drug dealing, who ran the entire network from an open prison and expanded it after release. Thind coordinated everything via burner phone, while associates like Bikramjit Brar handled distribution and Leandrea Lynch acted as a runner. Police raids uncovered tons of drugs, cash, phones, and transaction logs — with Thind nicknamed “the plug” on calls. All were busted: Thind got 12.5 years, Dhillon seven, Brar 3 years and 4 months, Lynch two and a half suspended. A chilling reminder: no one’s above the law when it comes to drugs.
