Описание: #downfall #ukcrime #truecrime
£80,000 in Rolex watches, a hydraulic press in the bedroom, and a confused gangster asking "Why though?" during his arrest. This is the story of the downfall of the Manchester gangster known as the "Blackrod Dealer."

In this UK true crime documentary, we go inside the 6-month covert investigation by the Greater Manchester Police's "Bolton Challenger" unit. Discover how detectives tracked a sophisticated cocaine empire operating out of the quiet village of Blackrod, dismantling a network that moved over 14kg of Class A drugs.
