Thom Dyke and Laura Hibberd successfully prosecute firearms and drugs conspiracy

Following a four-week trial at Isleworth Crown Court, Thom Dyke and Laura Hibberd secured the convictions of five defendants for their roles in a conspiracy to supply drugs on the streets of London, whilst armed with a range of lethal firearms.

The conspiracy took place between March and November 2022 and involved the large-scale supply of crack cocaine and heroin in the Kilburn area.  Five men were charged and convicted for their roles in obtaining at least three deadly firearms, which were to be carried by those involved in selling the drugs on the streets.

The case involved the presentation of complex cell site and DNA evidence, as well as evidence from an expert in urban street gangs.

Sentencing was adjourned until October 2023.

Thom and Laura were instructed by the Crown Prosecution Service.
