A WEMBLEY woman has been jailed for her part in a drug dealing ring, which included Charlotte Church's ex-boyfriend.
Marlene Nkore, 24, was jailed for two-and-a-half years after police cracked a network attempting to distribute 300 kilos of heroin - worth around £23m – on to London's streets.
The Wembley resident is one of eleven who have been prosecuted, including ringleader Marvin Campbell, 32, from Hackney, and Kyle Johnson, who dated the Welsh singer for 18 months.
Police smashed the gang's operation in December 2008 when they raided a drugs stash-house in Forest Gate, east London.
They found four cardboard boxes filled with hundreds of envelopes packed with heroin ready for distribution.
Evidence in the stash-house, which was managed by Johnson, showed around 100 kilos of heroin had already been distributed by the gang.
Further investigation led to a property in Bridge Road, Wembley, where Nkore was living and using it as another safe house for around 60 kilos of heroin.
The gang's operation was gradually unravelled by police over the course of an 18-month investigation, and Campbell's lavish lifestyle funded by drug money was exposed.
He would often take luxury holidays, he had a host of luxury cars, and would often splash out on dinner at Claridges or Harrods.
Campbell was yesterday the last of the gang to be jailed, when he was handed a 20 year prison sentence.
Detective Inspector Colin Stephenson, who led the operation, said: "This was one of the most significant drugs seizures by the Met in recent times, and has seriously disrupted a major criminal network engaged in the wholesale supply of heroin and cocaine.
"The result is the culmination of a long-term and complex investigation which successfully removed a major consignment of class A drugs from the streets, and made a significant dent in the availability of heroin across the capital.
“Seizures of this scale prevent criminals from profiting and in turn, impact the wider harm that comes from the illegal drugs trade."
