<\/p>\nDrug dealers are snapping up Deliveroo jackets and bags from eBay to evade cops. <\/p>\n
They\u2019re buying the kits for less than \u00a340 then hitting the streets on bikes to do drop offs.<\/p>\n
We found insulated Deliveroo bags on sale for \u00a316.99 and trademark green waterproof jackets with the takeaway service\u2019s logo for \u00a320.<\/p>\n
County lines drug runners are packing the bags with cocaine, heroin and cannabis and sending couriers to addicts.<\/p>\n

In some cases they\u2019re even robbing the clothes at knife point from genuine drivers at and using them for their drugs operations.<\/p>\n

We spoke to a dealer who delivers cannabis to customers in the North West. He said: \u201cI\u2019ve been doing it for a while now. I\u2019ve got a moped, several jackets and a bag I bought on eBay. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve got a helmet on most of the time so no one can see who I am. Then I just got on with it. The drugs are sealed in vacuum bags so there\u2019s no smell. It\u2019s an easy way to get around without being clocked.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know some people have been nicked but police aren\u2019t doing random searches. There\u2019s usually intelligence involved. I\u2019m doing it on a fairly small scale so it\u2019s easier to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
But police are onto the ruse. Several drugs bosses have been nicked in recent months.<\/p>\n

Car dealer Robert Fuller disguised mules as Deliveroo drivers and used his second-hand motor garage in Norwich as a front in a huge cocaine and cannabis smuggling operation.<\/p>\n
But cops smashed it after uncovering encrypted messages on his Encrochat phone.<\/p>\n
Fuller \u2013 \u2018dubbed The Drugs Baron Norfolk Broads\u2019 \u2013 bought imitation outfits so his runners could avoid detection as he planned to import liquid cocaine from Peru in jars of asparagus.<\/p>\n

He was jailed earlier this month.<\/p>\n
In August, three county lines drug dealers involved in the supply of more than 45kg of cocaine were jailed after more than \u00a330,000 of cash was found in a Deliveroo bag in Kent.<\/p>\n
In May, Hamza Badawi, 25, was jailed after cops found snap bags containing \u00a310,000 worth of cannabis in a Deliveroo bag at the end of a high speed chase through Salford, Greater Manchester.<\/p>\n
Rhiannon Sawyer, of the Children\u2019s Society, said: \u201cGangs are stealing delivery drivers\u2019 bags and branding so when they are going around on mopeds they look like Deliveroo drivers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just the children, it will be adults or young adults. That\u2019s come from raids of properties of victims and police found the branded items like clothes and boxes there. We\u2019ve even heard of young people being told to get jobs as takeaway drivers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deliveroo said: \u201cOur riders have the right to deliver amazing meals without fear of violence or intimidation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe work closely with the police and authorities to tackle crime if it is ever aimed at Deliveroo riders.\u201d<\/p>\n
