\n The cases of Lee Taylor, of Chester Hotel in Chester,\u00a0and Shane McGinn, of Ross Avenue in Leasowe, Merseyside, were heard during a Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) hearing held at Caernarfon Crown Court on Thursday, July 17.\n<\/p>\n
\n The pair had been part of a conspiracy which saw several people jailed for their roles in a criminal enterprise<\/a> which\u00a0saw class A and B drugs brought into\u00a0north Wales.\n<\/p>\n \n In February of this year, 40-year-old Taylor – defended by John Wyn Williams in court –\u00a0was jailed for\u00a0five years for conspiracy to supply drugs.\n<\/p>\n \n Meanwhile, 37-year-old McGinn was handed an\u00a0eight year jail\u00a0term for\u00a0conspiracy to supply cocaine, amphetamine and class B substances, as well as driving whilst banned.\n<\/p>\n \n At the POCA hearing in Caernarfon, Simon Rogers, prosecuting in the case, explained that the benefit figure of Taylor from the criminal activity\u00a0was agreed as being a sum of \u00a399,325.05.\n<\/p>\n \n However, he had only \u00a31 available, which was\u00a0not to be collected.\n<\/p>\n \n Judge Timothy Petts warned however that, should he come into some money in future or have any tucked away, then the prosecution ‘can bring him back to court and order him to pay something else’.\n<\/p>\n \n MORE COURT NEWS<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \n Serial stalker followed victim in Chester but is spared jail at Mold Crown Court<\/a>\n<\/p>\n \n Newport man punched fellow resident over smoking claims in Chester, court told<\/a>\n<\/p>\n
