Line 18: Behind County Lines

Synopsis

Drug smuggling networks expand across the UK, particularly from urban areas like North London into rural regions. The industry is now valued at £3 million a day and has led to increased violence, often involving children. The documentary takes viewers inside a trap house in North London, where drugs are prepared and sold. A participant reveals the mechanics of the operation, discussing how they recruit young people, often around 15 or 16 years old, to help with the distribution. They mention paying these recruits around £300 a week. The narrative highlights the grim realities of drug smuggling and the impact it has on communities, as well as the methods used to maintain these smuggling networks.
