Stephen Rayner headed up the operation and hired his sister and her partner who sold drugs from their Beeston home
Around £1.59 billion worth of cocaine was almost distributed around the UK by a Leeds gang who tried to smuggled it in using boxes of frozen chicken.
Sheffield Crown Court heard how Stephen Rayner, 31, of Scargill Grange, Leeds, led the operation and his sister and her partner used their home in Flaxton Street, Beeston, to weigh and re-package the drugs. Officers seized 132 kilos of cocaine - valued at £13 million - and 35 kilos of crystal meth - valued at £7 million - from a locked bedroom at the property in September last year.
Drugs runner Steven Gibson, 41, from Belsyde Avenue, Glasgow, was trusted to pick up large quantities of drugs from Redditch in the West Midlands, where they were imported to. His van was then loaded up with hundreds of kilos of cocaine which he would supply to other couriers. On December 15 last year, his vehicle was seen leaving the warehouse unit in Summer Street, Redditch, where the cocaine was collected and was seen meeting fellow courier, Hunter, also from Glasgow.
A Dutch haulage company was used to deliver the drugs from overseas, but was unaware of the delivery's true contents. Between March 23, 2022 and December 15, 2022, the company made 34 deliveries - 318 units - of frozen chicken to the warehouse.
