Last updated 23rd Oct 2026
Seven individuals have been sentenced at Lincoln Crown Court for their roles in a large-scale drug conspiracy, receiving a combined total of 33 years and four months in prison.
Operation Experiments targeted a network that flooded Lincoln with approximately £2 million worth of cocaine over 18 months between January 2024 and July 2025.
The organised crime group included a principal figure, an upstream dealer, associates, couriers, and a money launderer.
Concerns raised by a resident in Lincoln's Glebe Park Estate about drug-related activities led to an extensive investigation.
The operation intercepted significant quantities of drugs, dismantling a supply chain and cutting off 65 kilograms of cocaine intended for distribution.
Detective Sergeant Adam Petty emphasised the importance of community reporting in disrupting organised crime and assured continued efforts against these networks.

Gabby Nganyi, 22, received 11 years and three months for multiple offences including cocaine supply and money laundering.
Aaron Egan, 41, was sentenced to 10 years and six months for similar charges, including cocaine supply.
