The luck of a dealer who traded in blocks of drugs with shamrocks embossed on them ran out when he gave out his address during secret chats with co-conspirators.
Paul Whitney used the handle "BulletHawk" when conducting his illicit business over encrypted communications platform EncroChat. But police were able to identify him as the man behind this pseudonym when he ordered kilo amounts of heroin to be delivered to his home in Walton.
Merseyside Police has now released pictures of packages of drugs which were discovered on his device. One image shows brown parcels emblazoned with shamrocks, while another features an opened block.
