Parrot "Mango" Exposes the Most Dangerous Drug Network in Britain

In a strange and intriguing incident that astonished the British public, a talking parrot named "Mango" contributed to the downfall of one of the largest drug networks in the British city of Blackpool, after learning phrases related to drug dealing from a gang member, and repeating them in front of everyone without being aware of what he was saying.

The phrase uttered by the parrot "Two for 25"  referring to the price of drugs, was the thread that led the police to unravel the mystery of an organized gang involved in the large-scale trafficking and distribution of heroin and cocaine.

The police spotted the parrot repeating these phrases during raids on several homes, where huge quantities of narcotics, in addition to large sums of money and distribution tools, were seized.

Even more bizarre, the gang leader, named Adam Garnett (35 years old), was managing the entire operation from inside prison during the period between 2023 and 2024, using a mobile phone to manage sales and distribution operations, and coordinating with his partners outside the prison.

His partner Shannon Hilton (29 years old) appeared in a video teaching "Mango" to repeat drug promotion phrases in front of a child.

The accused Dalbir Sandhu (41 years old) was found with detailed records of drug prices and transactions on his phone, along with research on the geographical boundaries between British counties in an attempt to expand the gang's activities.

The accused Gareth Burgess (45 years old) appeared in videos bragging about his illegal profits, moving through the streets of Blackpool while performing rap music that glorified crime.

Additionally, Jason Girand (50 years old), and two others, Chloe Stott (24 years old) and Ryan Black (27 years old), were convicted in absentia after fleeing from justice, and arrest warrants were issued against them.

After lengthy trial sessions at Preston Crown Court, the sentences for the accused were as follows:

_ Adam Garnett: 19 years and 6 months in prison.

_ Shannon Hilton: 12 years.

_ Dalbir Sandhu: 10 years.

_ Jason Girand: 8 years and 3 months.

_ Gareth Burgess: 7 years and 4 months.

_ Chloe Stott (in absentia): 7 years.

_ Ryan Black (in absentia): 5 years.

Sergeant Investigator Anthony Alves confirmed that this case reflects the British police's ability to dismantle organized criminal networks even if their leaders manage them from behind bars, pointing out the ongoing efforts of Lancashire police to track down the fugitives and cleanse the community from the danger of these gangs.

Thus, "Mango" transformed from just a household bird into an unexpected witness, revealing details of a complex crime and bringing down a drug network that was operating relentlessly!
