A DRUGS gang that flooded the streets of Greater Manchester with cocaine was brought down after police discovered messages advertising ‘belt in deals’ to customers.
Daniel Degisi headed up the huge operation, which used a network of street dealers. Zach Hall was second in line and supplied those further down the chain with the drugs.
Hamza Iftikar and Richard Cranston were responsible for selling the product, while Jaymie Dawson and Michelle Richardson stashed the drugs in their homes.
Analysis of Dawson’s phones showed she was also responsible for sending bulk messages out daily to customers, including ‘New gear in for Xmas! Absolute stocked the **** up so all hours’ and ‘belt-in deals still on as well’.
Degisi, 37, tried to keep the operation at arm’s length, but detectives from GMP’s Serious Organised Crime Group were able to pinpoint his every move and link him to the conspiracy.
Following a number of raids in 2021, police discovered the group were cutting their drugs and mixing them with unknown materials to increase their profits.
