Anthony Spencer was a well-known supplier across the region
Thousands of copies have been sold of a true crime memoir detailing an insider's account of drugs trafficking in Nottinghamshire, across the country and on foreign shores. The Old Man and Me; A Gangster’s Life, A Son’s Journey by Jason Wilson is proving an eye-opener for journalists, ex-police officers, and several Midlands criminals. It has also come to the attention of a Labour MP and a children’s charity.
In detail, Jason describes the process: international, national, and regional. He routinely drove into the estates of Nottinghamshire to collect “paperwork” from the region’s crime groups which, in turn, would immediately be sent to Holland and Spain in a relentless turnover of drugs and money. Ultimately, Spencer’s reign as the Midlands' key supplier would eventually come to an end. His organisation would be targeted by the Regional Crime Squad and, over a three-year period, a series of raids and trials at Birmingham Crown Court would see Spencer flee abroad to Amsterdam.
Early into this sentence he would be diagnosed with a terminal lung cancer. This was believed to have been caused by the earlier gunshot injury he received in the Amsterdam shootout.
