Overview
- Six defendants were sentenced at Teesside Crown Court on Friday, with a total of 46 years in prison as ringleader Bradley Clough received 15 years.
- Callum Quinn got 11 years, Elise Stephenson seven, Phillip Perdomo five, Louise Goupillot five, and Michael Tait three and a half years.
- The court heard Clough led the operation with Quinn as his right‑hand man, using two drugs lines to advertise heroin, cocaine, crack cocaine, and zopiclone across Redcar and Cleveland.
- The conspiracy surfaced after Perdomo crashed in September 2024, triggering Operation Artemis raids that seized drugs, cash, and phones.
- Detectives said Clough’s phone held cash photos, incriminating messages, and a rap used in court, while searches uncovered high‑purity crack, cocaine, and stashes hidden in Kinder Eggs.
