Crime gang with 'secret Scots lab' who trafficked truckloads of drugs across border sentenced

If it had made its way to Scotland, cops estimate it could have produced 1,000kg of the drug, worth £1.1million.
Investigations revealed that the gang – leader Earle, King, Feerick, Lee Baxter and Stephen Singleton – co-ordinated their activities using EncroChat, an encrypted messaging app that was meant to hide communications from prying eyes.

Singleton was snared after being captured supplying 500 litres of isopropyl alcohol, another component in manufacturing the drug, to a delivery driver in a Ford Transit van in Merseyside for £4,000 in April 2020. The same van was then
