Alan Tobin and his gang flooded the country with hundreds of kilos of cocaine
A North West drug lord whose gang supplied cocaine and heroin to Manchester and other parts of the UK has been struck off as a registered mental health nurse.
In its findings report, the NMC panel said Tobin, of Regency Park, Widnes, registered as a qualified mental health nurse in 2009, and was employed by Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust at the time of his arrest on September 9, 2020, during a series of warrants executed by Cheshire Police. The report’s author said Tobin’s demise followed “an 18-month investigation into an organised crime group responsible for supplying Class A and Class B drugs throughout England and Scotland”.
It said there was no evidence of “clinical concerns” or harm to patients, but that Tobin’s “participation in organised crime and gang activity” and the drugs supplied carried an “inherent risk”.
