Story summary

Four men appeared in court on October 23, accused of running a Breaking Bad-style meth lab in the Warwickshire countryside. The arrests came after five Mexican nationals were previously charged with conspiracy to produce methamphetamine between February and August 2026 at Blossom Tree Farm near Furnace End, Warwickshire. Kenneth Burton, Paul Harkness Mawby, Anthony Devine (all age 34) from County Durham and Stockton-on-Tees, along with Mohammed Khan from Birmingham (age 36), were charged for their roles in the operation. The men are scheduled to appear at different magistrates' courts across England. Police seized evidence including gas canisters, plastic tubs, and metal tubing connected to containers during a raid by the National Crime Agency.
