Police said they brought misery to our community. Now the last of 34 people to be brought to justice as part of the large-scale Operation Horizon has been jailed. PrinceWill Enaruba, 26, was jailed for more than nine years at Preston Crown Court after he admitted his part in a conspiracy to flood Barrow with class A drugs. Operation Horizon smashed a number of county lines rings that brought despair to the streets of south Cumbria. It saw officers launch more than 20 raids on properties in Barrow linked to suspects in a dramatic dawn crackdown in early 2019. As well as the convictions, it dismantled a set-up that was trafficking drugs to the county and selling to local users in an area blighted by deaths linked to substance abuse.
