The robbers were provided with details of the identities and homes of high value drug dealers by one of the defendants. The robbery team was then assembled in order to carry out the robberies. One man was attacked as he emerged from his flat. Others were robbed but the only evidence of the robberies came from messaging between two of the defendants. The conspiracy culminated in the ambush of a dealer in a car park. He was stabbed and bled to death. The two involved in the attack were convicted of manslaughter. All defendants remain to be sentenced for a variety of offences.
