Twelve persons in all have been accused with plotting to provide Class A narcotics. County lines officers from Nottinghamshire Police conducted a number of raids around Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Lincolnshire alongside other law enforcement units.
Between Monday, February 26 and Thursday, March 7, these raids were conducted. When police executed warrants at residences in Nottingham, Mansfield, Coalville, Leicestershire, and Spalding, Lincolnshire, they found evidence of the illegal drug trade, high-value objects, cash, and Class A and Class B substances.
Gangs that utilise specialised mobile phone lines to send drugs to other regions of the United Kingdom are referred to as “county lines.” On Tuesday, February 27, four men appeared at Nottingham Crown Court.
