TWELVE members of a counterfeit drug ring – including six from the Grimsby area – raked in more than £10 million selling fake Viagra under the cover of a mail-order fishing tackle business.
The UK-wide conspiracy offered cheap erectile dysfunction pills to online and face-to-face customers around the world.
The northern branch was led by Thailand-based Stephen Laverick, but his ex-wife Catherine Laverick, 47, of Ulceby, was in charge of day-to-day operations in the UK.
Family members from the Grimsby area were recruited to assist with the massive criminal enterprise.
