Crackdown on Cocaine Queenpin Nicola Stevens
Nicola Stevens’ illegal empire came crashing down last April. She and five other gang members were arrested by the Organised Crime Partnership (OCP) of the Metropolitan Police.
Encrypted Chats and Dark Deals
The gang operated via the encrypted messaging app EncroChat. This service was smashed in July 2020 during Operation Venetic, the major UK police crackdown on encrypted crime communications.
Massive Cocaine Haul and Millions in Cash
- The network moved a staggering 786 kilos of cocaine.
- They handled £5 million in cash.
- Total profits from their drug sales are estimated at a whopping £27.5 million.
Policing the Poison
Targeting organised crime groups pushing class A drugs like cocaine into the UK remains a top priority for law enforcement. Cocaine’s grip fuels crime and ruins lives, especially affecting vulnerable young people. The OCP is determined to shut down these toxic drug rings for good.
