Public school drugs mules

PRIVATE school pupils are being forced to work for violent drug gangs as they are less likely to get caught, according to a report.

Youngsters exploited by “county lines networks” are forced by urban dealers to carry drugs to rural buyers.

The report yesterday by police, education, care and probation inspectors said: “Children at public school are less likely to be identified by the police.”

Other targets include youngsters in care and those with special needs.
