THE TRUTH ABOUT: Macca line drug supply busted in undercover operation - The Untold Story

An undercover police operation helped to bring down ‘Macca line’ drug dealers who inflicted “misery” through the supply of cocaine and heroin.

Operation Ground targeted a number of “graft phones” linked to the supply of cocaine and heroin in Wirral. Both Carl Mello, 35, of Cheapside, Liverpool, and Adrian Reed, 55, of Moel Gron, Mynydd, have been jailed for their part in the drug operation.

Prosecutor, Henry Riding, told the court that Reed had been "cooking crack cocaine" for the “Ford organised Crime Group”. Working alongside Mello, the pair were linked to ‘graft phones’ - phones which were used for the purposes of selling drugs - which were in operation from September 2021 to January 2022.
