‘Lucky Line’ Drug Ring Crumbles
PC Rhys Jones revealedthat Gale’s downfall began when police stopped him and seized a phone tied to the notorious “Lucky Line” drug network.
“Messages on the phone exposed Gale’s role in supplying heroin, crack cocaine and cannabis,” said PC Jones. “His luck ran out when he was caught red-handed.”
Police Call on Community to Snitch on Dealers
PC Jones warned, “Illegal drugs wreck communities. We’re determined to bring down those who think they’re above the law.” The force urges locals to help fight drug crime by reporting suspicious activity.
