They had been due before Northampton Crown Court this morning to be sentenced but the court has adjourned their case to an as-yet undecided date.

The men had pleaded guilty on the day a trial was due to start of plotting to supply cocaine.

Lafferty of York Road, Corby; Shephard of Babbage Crescent, Corby; and James Davis, 33, and Marcus Brown, 65, both of High Road, Guyhirn, Wisbech were originally charged back in February 2021 and denied their involvement until a hearing at the end of 2023.
