Six men accused of being part of a county line drugs ring were convicted on Friday (May 28) of a number of offences, including supplying Class A drugs, false imprisonment and the possession of offensive weapons.
During the three-week trial at Luton Crown Court, the jury heard how the six men were involved in the ‘Ginge Line’, a drugs supply line running out of Bedford.
The investigation into the ‘Ginge Line’ began after police were called on February 13 last year to a report that five men had taken over a flat in De Parys Avenue and were using it as a base to deal drugs.
