LORD JUSTICE TREACY:
"Urban Street Gangs (USGs) continue to play an important role in the distribution of Class A drugs (heroin and crack cocaine) into county and coastal towns outside the major big cities where they normally operate. In these scenarios, groups from large cities are taking control of local markets outside the city, supplying high-frequency deliveries of mid-market quantities. This form ofcriminality
almost always involves the exploitation of children and vulnerable adults coerced to assist with accommodation and supply."
"I was driven to the area. I had never been to Portsmouth. I was only there as I owed money to an older person. He said I had to do this and he is not someone I could say not to. He left me in the house. I would not have expected to receive any money for doing it, just reducing my debt."
