Nottinghamshire ‘Super Heroin’ Gang Busted and Jailed for Nearly 90 Years
A ruthless drugs gang pushing deadly ‘super heroin’ on the streets of Nottinghamshire has been locked up for a combined total of almost 90 years. After a painstaking two-year probe, courts have finally dealt justice to the crooks behind the scenes.
Prison Cell Kingpins Run Block From Behind Bars
Shaun Lau and Daniel Yeboah were already behind bars for drug crimes but managed to mastermind their operation using illegal mobile phones smuggled into prison. Their greed fuelled a poisonous trade flooding the city and county with fentanyl-laced heroin—a drug so lethal it’s caused multiple deaths.
Lau and Yeboah worked closely with 38-year-old Sherwood mum Hayley Price, who coordinated the collection and street-level distribution. Price even dragged her own mother and daughter into the mess. Her mum, 61-year-old Angela Price, was caught smuggling half a kilo of cocaine hidden in biscuits — a stash seized at Gatwick Airport.
Drone Fail Leads to Stunning Bust
The gang’s downfall came in August 2023, when a drone packed with drugs crashed into a tree outside HMP Parc in South Wales. The contraption was meant to deliver to inmate Shaun Lau, who planned to distribute inside the prison.
Hayley Price and her 20-year-old daughter Kaci-leigh Stones tried to recover the drone with a torch but raised prison staff suspicions. Cops stopped them and found over 1.1kg of clingfilmed cannabis, mobile phones, SIM cards and drone parts in their car.
A raid on Price’s home uncovered cocaine, cannabis, MDMA, heroin, plus scales and deal bags. Officers then dug into the seized phones, exposing a vast drugs network trafficking deadly fentanyl-laced Class A substances.
Major Players and Massive Stash Revealed
- Daniel Yeboah, 43, from St Ann’s, was a wholesale drugs boss directing shipments and suppliers, even from inside HMP Buckley Hall.
- Shaun Lau, 37, of Pinxton, a hardened drug dealer operating again after prison, running crack cocaine and heroin lines.
- Shiero Marquis, 36, Lau’s right-hand man, caught with nearly six kilos of cannabis in his car.
- Hayley Price sourced cocaine, heroin, fentanyl and cannabis from Yeboah, distributing for Lau.
- Lieran Dawes, 30, acted as Yeboah’s agent outside, storing bulk drugs and collecting cash.
- Raheeb Ibrahim and Mohammed Waheed operated Lau’s drug lines, supplying heroin and crack cocaine.
- Millee Munro, 49, ran stash houses in Bingham and transported drugs on Lau’s orders.

The drugs empire was worth hundreds of thousands, with Hayley Price bragging about pocketing £29,000 in just one month from Lau while he was locked up.
