Quote from the article:
| North Wales Police said the sentences proved its ability to take on organised crime groups. Four other men received prison terms at Caernarfon Crown Court varying between 18 months and two-and-a-half years for their roles. The arrests followed the discovery of amphetamines when two men from south Wales travelled to North Wales. The prosecution had alleged that the north Wales branch of the Outlaws at Colwyn Bay was a drugs distribution centre. Adrian John Sheriff and Michael Byrne were also jailed Ackowledging that the Outlaws motorcycle organisation was "perfectly lawful", Judge Merfyn Hughes, QC, told Dawson: "You used your role as European president to further your own criminal activity. "In doing so you have brought that organisation into disrepute, conducting an organised, wholesale and commercial drug supply." |
