Quote:'In December 2018, [Greater Manchester Police] GMP initiated an operation to target those responsibleGMP:
for the trading of bulk quantities of Class A drugs between the Bury area of Greater Manchester and the
Doncaster area of South Yorkshire.
The court heard that Shazia Din and Peter Wrafter colluded to form a network using their team of couriers
on either side of the Pennines to facilitate the transportation and dissemination of drugs across both regions.
Din and her siblings –Hassan Din and Abia Din –operated an online beauty product supply business as a
front for their covert criminal enterprise.
Detectives began to rigorously piece together intelligence that led them to make a number of arrests in
Greater Manchester and South Yorkshire in the opening months of 2019. Police also collated numerous
amounts of key evidence –such as drugs, cash and mobile phones –from a host of vehicles and properties,
some of which were resided by vulnerable people who had been exploited so that their home could be used
as a drugs base.
The most significant haul was during the arrest of Lee Davis while he was loading kilos of heroin into a van
in June 2019. That day, a total of 28.2kgs of heroin (worth an estimated £2.8million) was seized from a
combination of the van and a flat in Salford.
On Wednesday 24 July 2019 – with Wrafter already convicted and a significant number of accomplices arrested
–GMP co-ordinated a final day strike to arrest Shazia, Hassan and Abia Din and the other remaining conspirators.
This included Wrafter’s daughter, Nicola Wrafter, whom had replaced her father after his arrest and subsequent
conviction, in continuing to collude with Shazia Din.
A total of 20 people were arrested, charged and have now been sentenced to a combined total of 139 years
and six months...'
