The Mersey's finest have been busy, bruv. Liverpool Crown Court has just wrapped up a string of sentencings for 50 local villains who got caught with their hands deep in the cookie jar. From weed-stashin' pensioners to gun-totin' carjackers, it’s been a mad month on the bench.
**The 'Spanish Scouser' and his £5m Crypto Scheme**: Alex Midgley thought he was slick, running a crypto-laundering op for Francis Coggins’ crew. Midgley got caught red-handed with plans to smuggle 90kg of cannabis in a Transit van. He's now doin' four-and-a-half years and changin' nappies from behind bars after his daughter was born.
**The Pensioner with the Gun**: Richard Streets stashed a handgun and £4,000 worth of coke for some dodgy drug dealers who were makin’ life hell. He’s six-and-a-half years deep now, feelin' the heat.
**The Argos Seizure**: Rhys Carter had a ketamine-fueled seizure at Argos, and when they picked him up, out fell nearly £2k worth of drugs. Carter's dealin' days are over; he’s doin’ 43 months for his troubles.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg, fam. From domestic abusers to drive-by shooters, this lot ain’t gonna be walkin' the streets anytime soon.
