February saw criminals jailed for an array of offences in south east London, ranging from harrasment to fraud. A court heard how a New Cross woman s lengthy stalking campaign culminated in her sending a pig s head to her ex-boyfriend s workplace. Elsewhere, an organised Orpington crime group who ran a Deliveroo style cocaine delivery service in Kent were collectively jailed for over 25 years. Tia McBean sent her ex-boyfriend a pig’s head in a “horrible and gratuitous act of spite” during a prolonged stalking campaign. The 33-year-old, from New Cross, also bombarded Oralton Robinson and his long-term partner with phone calls and ordered pizzas to their home.
Five men have been jailed after police busted their lucrative cocaine home-delivery racket in Tunbridge Wells.
Sales totalling nearly half a million pounds were organised by the gang, which set up 24-hour phone lines to take orders and courier the drugs.
Customers ordered cocaine via the hotlines, giving their postcodes for delivery to their doorsteps.
Detectives found between March and December 2019, the drugs network was being run by an Albanian organised crime group headed by 35-year-old Drini Dosku.
Dosku was assisted by Mark Gjeci, and together they used couriers, Elvis Shehu Eldjort Ajazi, and Endrit Tobli.
Six other drugs couriers working for the gang were jailed at previous hearings.
A criminal gang from Orpington have been jailed. An organised Orpington crime group who ran a Deliveroo style cocaine delivery service in Kent have been jailed for a total of over 25 years. The leader of the Albanian gang, a father of two, was described as the leading light in the professional drug delivery service, but the group were taken down by a series of raids across Orpington, south east London. Sales totalling hundreds of thousands of pounds were regularly organised by the gang, who had set up a 24-hour phone line to receive order and drug couriers to local users as part of their major drugs supply network.
An Albanian drugs lord who has been deported from the UK three times has been jailed for more than seven years for heading a lucrative Deliveroo style cocaine delivery service in Kent.
Drini Dosku became the leading light in the sophisticated and professional plot to supply residents in the affluent stockbroker towns of Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells after his early release from prison in 2014 for drug dealing.
He was freed on agreement with the authorities he would return to his native country for good.
But the 35-year-old illegal immigrant was able to sneak back in, as he had done so on two previous occasions since 2011.
