The cupholders were the key to bringing down a criminal family
A gang stashed drugs and cash in a secret compartment within a van which could only be revealed by activating a hidden switch.
The fingerprints of another conspirator, John Germaine, were found on a number of the bags of cash.
Police then visited Germaine's storage unit on Ringtail Road in Burscough on September 28 2021 and found 9kg of "high purity" cocaine. The 35-year-old, of Holt Drive in Ormskirk, previously received nine years and two months in relation to this seizure in May 2022 after being convicted of possession of the class A drug and cannabis with intent to supply and possession of criminal property.
When Germaine was interviewed, he "began by saying 'I knew this was coming'". He stated that he had been in debt "to the tune of several thousands pounds to persons in Liverpool connected with someone whose jaw he had broken in a fight in a nightclub" and then "began making drug and cash runs" around May 2021, for which he was paid £150 a time and saw him travel as far afield as Portsmouth.
Shacklady has a total of four previous for seven offences, including receiving 33 months for conspiracy to supply cocaine in October 2022 in relation to "EncroChat material". Julian Nutter, defending, told the court on his behalf: "You can see his age, and time in prison for him is a different experience than for younger men.
"Even if the court views him as the head of the defendants in the dock, that is still different to being the head of the chain of the organised crime group. These people are often the people who do not live in this county and who stay away. Melville, who used the assistance of a walker in court, has no previous convictions. Stuart Nolan said on her behalf: "It certainly was not motivated by personal gain and is certainly a one-off offence with little to no planning.
"He has had time to regret his actions. He not only apologises to the court, but is deeply anxious about the loss that he has caused to his family. Heeley admitted conspiracy to supply heroin and cocaine. He was imprisoned for 15 years and three months.
