County Lines Drug Dealer Locked Up in Major Marlow Sting
A ruthless county lines drug dealer running a heroin and crack cocaine racket between London and Oxford has been jailed for five years and six months.
Crack and Heroin Supply Route Busted
Damion Williams, 28, of Mayfield Road, Ilford, pleaded guilty at Oxford Crown Court on Friday (8 November) to charges of being involved in the supply of crack cocaine and heroin.
The crackdown follows a police raid on 25 May 2022, when Thames Valley Police swooped on Williams’ home. Officers suspected he was masterminding the notorious Marlow Line drug operation.
Drugs Line Phones Seized
Police recovered two mobile phones during the raid. One was confirmed as the active drug line used to sell crack and heroin, while the other coordinated drug runners in Oxford.
Williams was arrested on the spot, charged the same day, and held in custody until sentencing.
Detective Warns: County Lines Dealers Will Be Caught
Detective Constable Ben Jones from the Drugs Focus Taskforce said: “Williams accepted he played a leading role in supplying drugs through the Marlow Line. I hope his conviction sends a clear message — if you’re involved in county lines drug dealing, we will investigate, track you down, and bring you to justice.”
Crackdown on County Lines Gangs Intensifies
The Marlow Line is just one of thousands of county lines drug networks where urban gangs exploit vulnerable people to distribute drugs in smaller towns. The National Crime Agency reports there are over 2,000 active county lines across the UK.
This latest conviction shows police are cracking down hard on drug dealers who poison communities and ruin lives.
