County Lines Drug Dealers Jailed Across Coventry, Winsford, Hertfordshire

Multiple county lines drug gangs across different regions in the UK have been dismantled, resulting in significant prison sentences for those involved. In Coventry and Leamington, Mitchell Chantler and Cain McCann were jailed for trafficking crack cocaine and heroin, with investigations revealing they used others to distribute drugs. In Winsford, three individuals including Iain Alexander and Helen Reynolds were sentenced after admitting to conspiracy to supply Class A and B drugs, following intelligence-led police operations. Meanwhile, in Hertfordshire, a gang operating from Luton supplying crack cocaine and heroin to the Welwyn Hatfield area saw four men sentenced to a combined total of over 17 years in prison. The Hertfordshire gang was exposed through a 2022 operation that seized drugs, weapons, cash, and mobile phones; key members including Hamza Aftab and Adeeb Mohammed were convicted based on extensive surveillance and evidence gathering. Police emphasized that county lines drug networks pose a serious threat to vulnerable communities and urged the public to report information to help combat drug-related crime.
