Man Sentenced to Four Years for Smuggling 29,000 Skull-Shaped Ecstasy Pills

Marshall Scurfield, 22, used Snapchat to coordinate the delivery of MDMA tablets intercepted by authorities at Birmingham Airport.

Marshall Scurfield attempted to smuggle 29,000 skull-shaped ecstasy pills, valued at £140,000, into the UK from the Netherlands.
The pills, containing MDMA, were intercepted by Border Force officials at Birmingham Airport and flagged to the National Crime Agency (NCA).
The NCA replaced the drugs with a dummy package and arrested Scurfield after he accepted delivery on February 25, 2022.
Scurfield admitted to importing Class A drugs, stating he accepted the package to settle a drug debt.
He was sentenced to four years in prison at Newcastle Crown Court, with authorities emphasizing ongoing efforts to combat organized crime networks.
