Six more charged in drugs ring case
Six more men have been charged in connection with an international drug importation ring that saw cannabis being delivered to a town in Shropshire.
The six charged were today named as Gary Keith Davies, 37, of Market Drayton but currently living in Overdale, Telford; Ashley Watkin, 38, from Loggerheads, near Market Drayton; Jamie Grant, 25, of Sovereign Lane, Ashley, near Market Drayton; David Thompson, 42, of Laburnum Avenue, Cannock; David Berry, 42 of Redford Road, Manchester; and Craig David Little, 31, of Duffield Road, Middleton.
On Monday David North, 50, from Blore Road in Hales, near Market Drayton, Bann Klootwiijk, 47, of London Road, Nantwich, and Mark Ballinger, 32, of Farnborough, Hampshire, were also charged.
Police raided units at the Adderley Road Industrial Estate in Market Drayton last November and seized hundreds of kilograms of cannabis worth £3,000 per kilo. Davies, Watkin, Grant, Thompson, Berry and Little are expected to appear in Birmingham Magistrates Court today.
