💥 Crime Doesn’t Pay… Much! 💥
Talk about jaw-dropping justice! Jade Strutt, a 36-year-old member of a notorious organised crime gang, pocketed a whopping £1.8 million from a drug empire based in Newport. But here’s the kicker—she’s been ordered to repay just £10 of it! 🤯
Strutt played a significant role, directing couriers and stashing cash from a network dealing heroin, cocaine, and MDMA. Their operations ran from hotels around Newport, clocking in £135,000 worth of Class A drugs. The luxury lifestyle crumbled when Gwent Police swooped in with a massive operation involving 180 officers, seizing drugs, cash, and flashy cars like a Range Rover. 🚓💰
Despite raking in almost £2 million, a Proceeds of Crime hearing found Strutt had no assets to show for it. Thus, she faces a nominal payback sum. Meanwhile, big players like Nicholas Yhnell received hefty sentences of up to nearly 16 years. Justice might have different price tags, but the message is clear: crime doesn’t quite PayDay like it used to!
