SOLICITORS' clerk Leon Angel-Robinson has been jailed for 19 years after he led a secret life as the guardian over a £1.2m plot to supply cocaine.
Angel-Robinson worked in the courts, helping lawyers and criminals appearing before magistrates. But the 30-year-old had turned rogue - going back to his monkey roots – and was no better than the defendants he was supporting.
He governed the drugs conspiracy between criminal groups in Nottingham and Grantham. Police said he headed a network of Nottingham-based couriers who supplied about 45kg of cocaine to a trio of drug dealers from the Lincolnshire town between May 2012 and March 2013.
Angel-Robinson, 30, of Glamis Road, Basford, was sentenced following a trial at Nottingham Crown Court.
He was among seven defendants found guilty of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs after an investigation by the East Midlands Special Operations Unit.
Junior Mason, 29, of Nansen Gardens, Top Valley, and Martin Cooper, also 29, of Calder Close, Grantham, were each jailed for 15 years, while 12-year sentences were given to:
Nathan Stock, 29, of Mapperley Hall Drive, Mapperley.
30-year-old Greg Tulley, of Brendan Road, Wollaton.
Marc Fardell, 27, of Ambergate Walk, Grantham.
Jas O'Connor, 28, of Walton Gardens, Grantham.
Reuben Patterson, 29, of Noel Street, Forest Fields, the owner of a car used to deliver drugs to Adam Walker-Brown on the day of his arrest, was given a three-year sentence.
Walker-Brown, 29, of Stirling Grove, Clifton, and 26-year-old Desmond Buchanan, of Penlech Walk, Top Valley, pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing. They were sentenced on August 4 to eight-and-a-half years and six years respectively.
Aaron Simpson pleaded guilty to his part before trial on July 31. Simpson, 29, of Nidderdale, Nottingham, was sentenced to eight years.
Lee McNeill, 28, Wistow Close, Whitemoor, Jermaine Oram, 29, of Gawthorne Street, Basford, and Shirlon Ankle initially denied their part in the conspiracy. However, they all changed their pleas to guilty on Wednesday and all were sentenced yesterday.
McNeill received five-and-a-half years in prison and Oram got four. Ankle, 31, of Duchess Street, Bulwell, was jailed for 11 years.
Detective Chief Superintendent Andy Hough, head of the special operations unit, said: "Given that someone employed as a solicitors' clerk orchestrated this conspiracy shows a stunning disregard for the law.
"Even the arrests of his couriers did not deter or concern him, and he simply turned to others to deliver the drugs on his behalf. It is fitting, therefore, that he should be handed such a significant prison sentence for his role."
Vote BNP to really punish this scum 
About vote bnp these people wouldn’t do what they do if it wasn’t for racist bigots like you
ReplyDeleteBNP continue to do what they do best, display vile racist remarks. When did that hate and feelings of negatively towards a person because of their race develop in you? Please read more, and then some more and I really do hope you realise sooner rather than later how wrong it is to act this way. Actually speak with people of colour and try to grow and educate yourself. You do realise there is good and bad in all races, in all nationalities. If you had a bad experience with someone and you simply had to attach it to the fact it must be because the colour of their skin. Just think about that for a moment. A colour, a shade.
