Defendants involved in a cross-county drugs plot jailed for more than 100 years

A drug dealer who lived a lavish lifestyle while on the run from the police was among 22 people sentenced to more than 100 years in prison between them.

At Leicester Crown Court Kevin Duncalf was jailed for 16 years after he was found guilty at a trial last month of conspiracy to supply class A drugs.

Duncalf supplied cocaine from Liverpool while he was wanted by another police force for unrelated matters. The fact he was wanted didn’t deter him from continuing with his life of crime.

When he was arrested officers found recordings on his mobile showing his lifestyle, including staying in hotels counting large sums of money on a cash counting machine.

Officers recovered cash and designer clothing from his home when they executed a warrant last summer.

The investigation identified Ashley Boyd and Clint Jones as the brains behind the business-like operation. Both men were part of an organised criminal network, dealing drugs and making money from the misery of drugs.

Boyd and Jones pleaded guilty to their part in the operation at earlier hearings.

Jones was one of the main Leicester suppliers, when officers executed a warrant at Jones’s home they found more than £57,000 in cash.

During the enforcement officers recovered cocaine, cannabis, cannabis plants, cash and designer items including customised watches.

East Midlands Special Operations Unit (EMSOU) Detective Inspector Lee Hunt said: “Between them these individuals will now serve more than 100 years behind bars.  The conviction and subsequent sentences show how seriously we and the courts take these crimes.

“These criminals were part of an organised network who operated not just in Leicestershire but Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Liverpool. During the enforcement we executed more than 50 warrants across those counties and cities.

“This was a significant operation for us but our work doesn’t end here. We know there is always someone waiting to the fill the gap left by others and we will continue in our efforts to stop the misuse of drugs and carry out further operations of the nature to disrupt the criminal activity.”
