A judge said William Brown's offending was the 'most serious'.
A Glasgow man who boasted about getting hold of huge quantities of drugs has been jailed alongside three others for drugs and weapons offences.
Officers arrested Snowdon, Moore and Dodkins on August 9, 2021, after raiding Dodkins' home on Staithes Road in Redcar. Prosecutor Anthony Pettengell read the messages to the court, detailing conversations between Moore and Snowdon asking him to supply a gun and body armour. Messages showed Moore complaining of the difficulties of "getting firearms into the UK."
Mr Pettengell told the court that Moore and Brown were the bosses of the gang, with Dodkins being a local supplier and Snowdon the lowest in the gangs hierarchy. The court heard that Brown, claimed he tried to show that he could access more drugs than he could, saying that his messages were "all lies and bravado" but he was convicted after trial. He has a young son, who lives with his partner in Scotland.
