Description

Ben Ransome, a 29-year-old drug dealer from Wickford, was sentenced to 14 years in prison for running a massive cocaine operation in Essex. After police surveillance, his associate was caught with £900,000 worth of cocaine, leading Ransome to flee to Spain and Thailand. Essex Police dismantled his network, arresting 25 people and seizing £1 million in cash and 20 firearms. Ransome, living under the alias Billy Roberts in Thailand, was arrested and extradited back to the UK, where he was sentenced at Basildon Crown Court. This operation was hailed as Essex Polices biggest drug bust, the result of years of hard work and teamwork.
