A criminal gang are facing years in jail after they were all convicted of transporting a haul of cocaine into the North East.
Drug gang busted after police seize cocaine and dirty money A NETWORK of organised criminals are facing jail after police busted them transporting a haul of cocaine into the North-East and laundering more than £100,000 in dirty money. Owen Watson, John Simpson, Matthew Walsh and Nicola Harland have all been convicted of helping to launder money and deliver Class A drugs on behalf of criminal linchpin Mark Crame. The court was told how an investigation began in 2018 when Northumbria Police’s Priority and Organised Crime Team (POCT) began carrying out surveillance on Crame as he travelled between Newcastle and Liverpool. Crame, 49, was believed to have been in control of a drugs factory and so was arrested in Jesmond in July 2018 where he was found in possession of 2kg of cocaine worth an estimated £100,000 in street value.
The Taits were arrested in April last year as part of the national Operation Venetic. As part of the investigation, searches were carried at properties connected to the family in Byker, Kenton and Cowgate and a haul of weapons, including a home-made hand grenade and Class A drugs worth in excess of £125,000, were recovered. Thomas Tait Snr was arrested following a search of his Kenton home where officers found a Glock pistol and two kilos of Cocaine. His son, Thomas Tait Jnr, was arrested shortly after showing up at the property. Later that evening, a further search was conducted at the home of Tait Snr’s mother- Anne-Marie Glendenning. A sports bag containing a hand grenade, a semi-automatic Stribog Carbine, a Sig Sauer pistol, a Glock pistol and approximately 300 rounds of ammunition was found inside a wardrobe in her Byker flat.
