Catching a Crime Boss
A drug dealer thought he was hiding in plain sight until a series of text messages sealed his fate. Find out how covert police brought down a multi-million pound drugs empire in Wales.
How do you catch a drugs kingpin? Go behind the scenes with Gwent Police in Wales as they take down Robert Andrews, described as a 'dealers' dealer' due to the huge quantities of cocaine and heroin he was buying and selling. Andrews, from Newport in South Wales, thought he was hiding in plain sight, until a series of text messages showed him joking with another dealer they’d either end up 'millionaires' or 'sharing a cell'. Hear from the covert officer who led a nine month surveillance operation into Andrews’ Organised Crime Group and watch the moment he’s arrested in a dawn raid, in one of Gwent Police’s biggest ever drugs investigations.
