Owen Sheerin was the 'instigator' of the huge drugs operation and used encrypted devices to avoid detection and plan deals
A Lancashire dealer who moved £500,000 worth of cocaine and heroin across the UK as part of a major drugs conspiracy has been jailed.
Detectives said the pair used the names and encrypted devices to avoid detection from law enforcement, sharing messages about planned drug deals and images. Together they were responsible for the supply of cocaine and diamorphine and are estimated to have handled in the region of half a million pounds for supplying drugs across England and ScotlandSheerin and Green were arrested in October 2022 and subsequently pleaded guilty to several drug offences at a previous court hearing in Liverpool.
Detective Inspector Peter McCullough said: "Sheerin and Green’s attempts to supply significant amounts of Class A drugs were thwarted by our officers who examined images and messages from their encrypted devices. One message from Sheerin mentioned a BBQ party for Green’s 52nd birthday that referenced both of their handles Frosty-Scotch and Base-bat.
"We know the devastation that drugs cause and Merseyside Police remains relentless in our pursuit of these criminals and ending their drug trades. I hope this result shows that our officers will leave no stone unturned in our pursuit of these people who think they are above the law and believe they can evade justice.
