Crime gang met in Starbucks and football ground waiting for £2m of cannabis stashed in pallets of broccoli
Crime bosses who met in Starbucks and a Lancashire football ground as they awaited a £2million shipment of cannabis stashed in pallets of broccoli, kale and lettuce have been jailed.
On May 28, Hunter met Sarson at the home ground of Fylde FC. The next day Hunter, Unsworth and Quigley and McKevatt had a meeting in a Starbucks near Ribby Hall caravan park near Blackpool. "The scale and method of the importation demonstrates how well resourced and well established the defendants are within Europe. The importation would have flooded the UK streets with controlled drugs generating huge profits for those at the upper end of the conspiracy."
That shipment was examined by Border Force, but no drugs were discovered and it was allowed on its way. Ms McCloskey said the prosecution case is that consignment was a "dummy run".
