Visited by leader of gang, suspect not alone in Derbyshire town (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

long eaton

'derbyshire town' is the definition.

'visited by leader of gang suspect not alone' is the wordplay.
'visited by' indicates putting letters inside.
'leader of' suggests taking the first letters.
'suspect' is an anagram indicator.
The first letter of 'gang' is 'g'.
'not'+'alone'='notalone'
'notalone' is an anagram of 'loneaton'.
'g' placed into 'loneaton' is 'LONG EATON'.

'in' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
