Police Raid Uncovers Drug Operation

On 30 December 2025, officers from the Middlesbrough Proactive Team raided a Wellesley Road property. Several people were there at the time. A woman at the scene held a mobile phone linking Finn-Gibbs directly to drug dealing. Messages on the phone revealed attempts to recruit others for selling class A drugs, confirming his role in the supply chain.

Criminal History and Police Response

Finn-Gibbs wasn’t new to trouble—he’d already served time for class A drug supply and dangerous driving after crashing into a police car. Middlesbrough Proactive Team Sergeant John Sproson said:
