THE UK’S top drug barons are Merseyside-based gangsters. The Serious Organised Crime Agency’s (SOCA) UK Threat Assessment report puts Merseyside at the top of the tree for the supply of guns and drugs throughout the British Isles. Liverpool crooks are said to be changing the face of the international drug dealing scene. They are bypassing established smugglers to set up their own supply routes taking a bigger slice of the profits for themselves. They are also labelled major importers of guns sold across the underworld and are said to control drugs markets as far away as Scotland (where their influence is said to be huge) and many seaside towns on the south coast. In response Merseyside police is the only force in the country outside of the Met to have the capacity to fight crime internationally. Liverpool Echo >>
