How detectives unravelled the UK’s largest prison drugs conspiracy

Sixteen criminals who played a part in the largest ever drug and weapon prison smuggling conspiracy in the UK have today been jailed for a total of more than 80 years. Our investigation started in 2019 when, on 24 October, 38-year-old mental health nursing assistant Amy Hatfield was arrested as she arrived for work. Upon her arrest, Hatfield disclosed she had ‘some stuff’ on her. After searching her belongings, officers found MDMA, bags of ketamine, spice, vials of testosterone, anabolic steroids, mobile phones, phone accessories, tobacco and other prescription drugs, which was estimated by prison experts to be worth over £1 million. Over the following months and years, detectives from our Prison Anti-Corruption Unit unravelled a highly complex criminal network operating inside HMP Lindholme, leading to Hatfield and a further 16 co-conspirators being charged and convicted. Today (27 October), sixteen of the seventeen involved have been sentenced.
