Coronavirus: Drug dealers 'disguising themselves as key workers' during UK lockdown

Drug dealers are disguising themselves as key workers to avoid police during the UK's coronavirus lockdown, officials have revealed. Lynne Owens, director-general of the National Crime Agency (NCA), said gangs were also dealing from supermarket car parks in an attempt to mix in with crowds. "We know that some groups finding it harder to transport their commodities and are adapting their methods," she told a press conference on Wednesday. "Intelligence indicates that they are seeking to deal drugs in supermarket car parks, and to portray themselves as key workers to prevent being stopped by police."
