31 Jan
Summary
- Two men jailed for supplying £500,000 worth of drugs.
- Operation began in 2020 after police executed warrants.
- The pair funded lavish lifestyles with criminal proceeds.
Two men have received significant prison sentences for their roles in a drug supply network spanning East Yorkshire. Daniel Moss, 40, and David Brown, 39, were sentenced at Hull Crown Court on Tuesday. Moss received six years and one month imprisonment, while Brown was sentenced to three years and 10 months. Both had previously pleaded guilty to multiple offenses related to drug supply.
The investigation commenced in 2020 when Humberside Police executed warrants at eight properties in Beverley. During these searches, officers discovered numerous burner phones, approximately £162,000 worth of drugs, and around £11,200 in cash. Moss and Brown were identified as part of an organised crime group, directing others in the supply of cocaine and class A drugs.
Police stated that the defendants utilized the profits from their illicit activities to support extravagant lifestyles. Three other gang members involved in the network were previously convicted and sentenced last year. The seized assets, including drugs and cash, underscored the luxurious living afforded by their criminal enterprise.
