January 20, 2017. Glasgow, Scotland.
In this cold night on the eastern outskirts of the city, two officers from Organized Crime and Counter Terrorism Unit (OCCTU) were surveilling a silver Toyota Yaris in Church Street, Baillieston.
The routine surveillance was part of Operation Escalade – a long-running investigation by Police Scotland since 2014 into the most prolific organized crime group in the country.
The group was responsible for international drug trafficking, money laundering and illegal weapons leading to a turnover of more than £100m every year.
And the breakthrough the investigators were desperately looking for, finally was about to reveal itself.
Mark Richardson – an Edinburgh-based drug kingpin, and a major player in Scotland underworld was about to appear around the silver Yaris.
And little did the officers know, this chance encounter was going to change the entire course of their operation – and more shocking revelations were just about to begin.
So, tune in for the incredible story of Operation Escalade and the unimaginable Downfall of Scotland’s Most Sophisticated Crime Gang.
January 20, 2017.
As part of the ongoing Operation Escalade, OCCTU was monitoring several properties and vehicles linked to the organized crime group.
One of these vehicles was a silver Toyota Yaris parked in Church Street, Baillieston, on the eastern outskirts of Glasgow.
When suddenly Marc Richardson – a major player in Scotland underworld showed up around the vehicle, investigators at first were taken by surprise.
But – this chance encounter was about to change everything.
When finally, OCCTU officers moved-in to the scene and apprehended Richardson, they quickly realized that he had the keys to the Toyota with him.
And on the keychain – there was a fob which did not appear to activate any alarm on the car.
The detectives then discovered the fob was an activation key to a Bluetooth device located in the rear cluster light of the car.
And when they activated the device a metal plate on the car came up on a hydraulic ram – and revealed a hidden compartment.
This was the beginning of everything.
After a thorough search within the compartment, officers found a 9mm Glock handgun that was loaded and contained Richardson’s DNA on it.
Also, officers realized that the compartment was hidden in such an elaborate way – that on a random stop there would have been next to no chance of finding it.
Detectives knew that they were on to something.
Marc Richardson was arrested on the spot and the arrest immediately set in motion a chain of events unraveling a vast criminal network.
The following weeks officers discovered several other sets of car keys, leading up to different remote locations in the city.
One of the keys was labeled “Annie”, leading to an industrial unit on Croftside Avenue in the Croftfoot area of south Glasgow.
Another was for Westburn Farm Road, Cambuslang, and it was a key of the logistical hub that was believed to be the main workshop where the gang modified their £250,000 fleet of vehicles.
Finally, by cross-referencing all the keys to their addresses linked to the organized crime group, investigators created their strategy of action. And now it was time to act.
On 5 February, 2017, OCCTU first raided the lock-up on Whittingehame Drive, Anniesland, in the west end of Glasgow.
And this was going to be a Jackpot!
