News illustration
In the West Midlands, a gang did reside,
Led by Pitts, who coordinated with pride,
A £4m fake Xanax operation, quite a test,
Sold on the dark web, via cryptocurrency best.
Up to 11 million tablets made with care,
In sheds and garages, with no one aware,
Tipton, Wednesbury, and Wolverhampton too,
The fake pills shipped across the UK, and to the USA, it's true.
Pitts, 30, ran the show from a villa so fine,
In Thailand, where he lived a life so divine,
He controlled every part, with a constant hand,
The beating heart of the operation, in a foreign land.
He pleaded guilty to six charges, no need to pretend,
Conspiracy to supply Class C drugs, his crimes to amend,
Judge Butterfield said, with a stern face so bold,
You're the mastermind, your actions to be told.
Katie Harlow, his partner, also part of the crew,
Jailed for two years and one month, her fate to pursue,
Lee Lloyd, a trusted right-hand man, seven years and two months his share,
Kyle Smith, four years, for packaging and care.
