£80 Million Coke Bust, Essex Drug Trafficker - Frank Stedman

Frank Stedman, a lad from Essex was arrested at Heathrow Airport on a flight back from Thailand having fled there to escape capture for his involvement in organised crime. Driven by his greed for money, Frank became a runner for an organised drug trafficking gang. He transported and delivered large sums of money and kilos of drugs across the country until the authorities caught up with him and his co conspirators. He pleaded guilty for his involvement in a £80 million drug supply conspiracy. He was sentenced to nine years in prison. However, there is more to this story.  In this episode Frank speaks openly about his experiences and the lessons he learned and is a huge advocate that crime does not pay. He hopes that by sharing his story, he can discourage others from following a similar path.
