Heavy Jail Terms Hit the Gang Hard

- John Eric Spiby Sr. of Astley, Tyldesley, got a whopping 16 years and six months at Bolton Crown Court on 27 January 2026. His charges stretched from drug production and supply to firearm and ammunition possession, plus perverting the course of justice.
- John Colin Spiby Jr. from Salford bagged 9 years for conspiracy to produce and supply Class C drugs. Despite both Spibys denying the charges, the November 2025 trial found them guilty.
- Lee Ryan Drury of Stalybridge copped 9 years and 9 months after pleading guilty mid-trial to conspiracy to produce and supply Class C drugs.
