Police have jailed two men linked to a Western Balkans drug gang supplying cocaine in Milton Keynes, highlighting ongoing efforts against organized crime.
London: So, two guys from London just got locked up for their part in a drug ring. They were selling cocaine in Milton Keynes, and it’s a pretty big deal. Burim Selita, 27, got over five years, while Lorenc Kola, 30, is looking at 16 months behind bars.
The police were onto this gang for a while. They had six different lines running in Milton Keynes, pushing out loads of cocaine every month. They were raking in cash from hundreds of customers from April 2022 to November 2023. During one of the first busts, they found 1.5kg of cocaine and almost £10,000 in cash.
Then, in November 2023, they nabbed eight more guys from places like Milton Keynes, London, and Sheffield. They seized another half a kilo of cocaine and a whopping £50,000 in cash. It’s clear this was a big operation.
One of the other guys, Zeqir Pisli, got a hefty sentence of over 13 years. A bunch of others were sentenced too, with some getting serious time for their roles in this crime ring.
Detective Inspector Natalie Hall, who led the investigation, said it was a major effort to take down this group. She highlighted how much work went into gathering evidence and making sure justice was served. They’re not stopping here; they’re committed to tackling these drug gangs that cause so much harm.
