TWO MEMBERS OF THE DRUGS RING THAT SET UP AN AMPHE

TWO MEMBERS OF THE DRUGS RING THAT SET UP AN AMPHETAMINES
‘FACTORY’ IN A LINCOLNSHIRE COUNTRY COTTAGE WERE JAILED FOR TEN YEARS
EACH AT THE OLD BAILEY.

JUDGE MICHAEL ARGYLE, QC, SAID SPEED ADDICT ARTHUR WHITE,
50, WAS INVOLVED ‘UP TO HIS NECK’ IN THE CONSPIRACY.

AND HE CONSIDERED JOHN DODD, 54, NUMBER THREE IN THE
OPERATION, RIGHT BEHIND WHITE.

THE ‘NUMBER ONE’ AND ‘CHEMIST’, STEPHEN DIMSEY, IS STILL ON
THE RUN.

HIS WIFE, SAMBOON, 27, WAS ACQUITTED EARLIER OF ANY
INVOLVEMENT.

MILLONS OF POUNDS WORTH OF ‘SPEED’ WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE
FIRST FLOOR BEDROOM GREENHOUSE IN THE COTTAGE IN HERDGATE LANE,
PINCHBECK.

WHITE, OF MANOR COURT, AYLMER ROAD, EAST FINCHLEY, NORTH
LONDON, WAS CONVICTED BY A JURY OF CONSPIRING IN THE PRODUCTION OF
AMPHETAMINES BETWEEN JANUARY 84 AND JULY LAST YEAR WITH STEPHEN
DIMSEY.

HE MADE FREQUENT TRIPS TO THE PINCHBECK ‘FACTORY’ DELIVERING
CASH PAYMENTS.

ON ONE OCCASION HE DELIVERED SEVEN HEATERS TO BE USED FOR THE
CLIMATE CONTROL NECESSARY TO MAKE THE ‘SPEED’.

AN ADDICT SINCE HIS STUDENT DAYS, WHITE TOLD THE JURY HE HAD
BEEN A ‘CROOK’ ALL HIS LIFE – ASSOCIATING WITH THE ‘CRIMINAL
ARISTOCROCY’IN BRITIAN.

BUT HE PROTESTED HE HAD GONE STRAIGHT.

IT WAS A ‘THEATRICAL PERFORMANCE’, SAID THE JUDGE.

DODD, OF ALFRED HOUSE, STANHOPE ROAD, HIGHGATE, WAS ARRESTED
ALONG WITH HIS WITH HIS WIFE, VALERIE, 43, AND HIS FATHER-IN-LAW
PHILLIP O’DONNELL, 66.

FLYING SQUAD OFFICERS RAIDED THE HIGHGATE FLAT LOOKING FOR
STOLEN JEWELLRY, NOT DRUGS.

BUT THEY FOUND BAGS CONTAINING COCAINE,
AMPHETAMINES AND CANNABIS RESIN WORTH #100,000 ON THE STREET.

AND MORE
THAN #23,000 CASH.

MRS DODD AND HER FATHER WERE ATTEMPTING TO HIDE THE DRUGS AS
DETECTIVES BURST INTO THE BUILDING.

ALTHOUGH LOWER IN THE ‘BATTING ORDER’ THAN WHITE, JOHN DODD
WAS ALSO JAILED FOR TEN YEARS.

HE PLEADED GUILTY TO POSSESSING
COCAINE, AMPHETAMINES, AND CANNABIS RESIN WITH INTENT TO SUPPLY DURING
A SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDING IN JULY LAST YEAR.

THE #19,325 CASH FOUND HIDDEN IN A BIN LINER WAS ORDERED TO
BE FORFIETED TO THE COURT.

HIS WIFE, VALERIE, WAS CONVICTED OF POSSESSING THE SAME DRUGS
WITH INTENT TO SUPPLY ON JULY 10, LAST YEAR.

AND PEVERTING THE COURSE
OF JUSTICE.

SHE WAS JAILED FOR THREE YEARS AND FINED #4,325.

THE CASH WAS
FOUND HIDDEN IN THE FLAT.

HER FATHER, O’DONNELL, 66, OF BESANT WALK, ANDOVER ESTATE,
HOLLOWAY, WAS GIVEN A TWO YEAR SENTENCE SUSPENDED FOR TWO YEARS.

HE
WAS CONVICTED BY THE JURY OF PERVERTING THE COURSE OF JUSTICE.

HE WAS
ORDERED TO PAY #200 PROSECUTION COSTS.

JUDGE ARGYLE ALSO ORDERED WHITE PAY #15,000 TOWARDS
PROSECUTION COSTS.

HE SAID WHITE, AN EXPERIENCED CRIMINAL, MADE ‘THE ELEMENTAL
MISTAKE OF LEAVING A FINGERPRINT ON THE BACK DOOR OF THE PINCHBECK
FACTORY’
THE JUDGE TOLD HIM: ‘AMPHETAMINE SULPHATE IS A DRUG USED
PARTICULARLY BY YOUNG PEOPLE.

IT KEEPS THEM AWAKE AND ALERT AND CAN
BE ADDICTIVE.

‘SOME PARTS OF THIS COUNTRY, AND COUNTRIES IN SCANDANAVIA, ARE
ALMOST AWASH WITH AMPHETAMINE SULPHATE AT THE PRESENT TIME.

‘
THE JUDGE ADDED: ‘STEPHEN DIMSEY – THE DISHONEST, DANGEROUS
AND VIOLENT FORMER SOLICITOR – WAS THE MAIN SPRING.

BUT HE NEEDED
HELP.

I AM QUITE SATISFIED THAT YOU WERE IN THIS UP TO YOUR NECK.

‘

ENDS.

NOTE: WHITE WAS SENTENCED TWO WEEKS AGO BUTPORTING
RESTRICTION UNTIL THE END OF VALERIE DODD AND O’DOLLELL’S TRIAL.

JOHN
DODD WHO PLEADED GUILTY WAS SENTENCED TODAY ALONG WITH HIS WIFE AND
FATHER-IN-LAW.

A THIRD MAN, ALAN WHITFIELD, OF PADDINGTON, WILL HAVE A RETRIAL IN THE
NEW YEAR – WE HAVE NO DATE AS YET.

ENDS NOTE.
