Six Leeds men have been jailed for supplying Class A drugs to Scarborough as part of a county lines gang.

Headed by Cameron Lyn and Ben Conway, the gang would transport heroin and crack cocaine to Scarborough from Leeds. This took place between September and December 2019.

The pair would obtain the drugs from another Leeds man, Damon Tremble, before they would move it to the streets of the coastal town. Other members of the gang would then distribute the drugs at street level.

Now, the six men have appeared before Leeds Crown Court on Tuesday, November 5. They all admitted to conspiracy to supply Class A drugs at an earlier hearing.

The six men are:

Cameron Lyn, aged 33, of Easterly Road, Gipton, was sentenced to 11 years and eight months.
Damon Tremble, aged 47, of Blenheim View, Leeds, was sentenced to seven years.
Benjamin Conway, aged 32, of Clyde Chase, Leeds, was sentenced to six years.
Kyah Dalby, aged 28, of HMP Humber, was sentenced to five years.
Roy Fogarty, aged 33, of Leicester Square, Manston, Leeds was sentenced to four years and six months.
Ethan McCorrie, aged 27, of Colton Road, Armley, Leeds, was sentenced to three years.

OPINION - Laugh at Iqbal Mohamed all you want, but a law is the wrong way to tackle first cousin marriage
Iqbal Mohamed, one of the Independent Alliance of five MPs, went viral after his earnest defence of first cousin marriages as Parliament debated a proposal to ban them. Among other things, Mohamed said, these unions “help build up family bonds”. Since consanguineous marriage is a tradition among particular communities originating from the Middle East and South Asia, it would therefore be harmful, even racist, the subtext goes, to disparage or restrict its free practice.
