From BBC East Midlands yesterday, the above and:

A drug addict who allowed a Nottingham-based county lines gang to use her home to store and deal class-A drugs has been sentenced. Police said Jeanette Talbot, from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, was given free heroin and cocaine as payment from the ringleaders, who ran an “industrial” supply network. The 12 drug dealers were jailed in June, while Talbot had her sentencing deferred to allow her to demonstrate further progress in tackling her drug habit. Nottinghamshire Police said an investigation into the drug network – which was spread across the East Midlands and Aberdeen – began after one dealer was arrested after he was caught running away from a car crash in September 2022.

When I saw the Rolls and ‘Aberdeen‘, I was reminded:

From BBC Nottinghamshire 4 June 2025, the above and:

Twelve drug dealers have been jailed for running an “industrial” supply network that flooded heroin and crack cocaine into towns across the East Midlands and Aberdeen. The Nottingham-based ringleaders sprayed champagne from a white Rolls-Royce, in one of several “drill” music videos that boasted about their weapons and wealth.

Nottingham Crown Court heard how they protected their turf with knives, a loaded pistol, and bombarded drug users with marketing texts. They also set up local distribution hubs at addicts’ homes and recruited children to move and sell their drugs, to reduce the risk of getting caught.

BBC Scotland BBC North-east are not reporting this just as they did not in June. We all know why
