serve as another example of our commitment to target anyone we suspect to be
involved in the supply chain of illegal drugs.

are and wherever you are from, we will continue to proactively target anyone
suspected of being involved in bringing illegal and harmful drugs into our
communities.

“Lloyd, Khan, Allan and Udottong were all identified
during an exhaustive investigation into their activities.

“People involved in the drug trade often exploit the most
vulnerable members of society so we all have an obligation to help protect each
other by reporting any suspicious or harmful behaviour that may be happening in
local areas.

“We are grateful to the public for every piece of
information we receive which is used to disrupt the trade in drugs and bring
those responsible for supplying to justice.

“If anyone has any concerns regarding the abuse of
controlled drugs, or anyone who may be involved in the supply of controlled
drugs, they are urged to contact Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555
