Christopher Jones, the head of a criminal drug supply network, has been handed an eighteen-and-a-half-year prison term after admitting ten drugs and gun offences, including possession of two firearms and conspiracy to import a gun from Albania. In December 2015, police officers raided Jones’ home in Codsall, Staffordshire and seized drugs with associated paraphernalia, a sawn-off shotgun and a double-barrelled shotgun (previously stolen from a nearby farm). A parcel of benzocaine, shipped to Jones from Hong Kong, was subsequently intercepted by Border Force officials. In October 2017, Jones was again arrested in possession of drugs and cash, and, following a complex investigation, was brought to justice along with four male associates sentenced on the same day for drugs offences.
