A man used the covid pandemic as a decoy to transport drugs and cash in his Skelmersdale-based rental vans.
Lloyd Ellison claimed his vans were being used to take vital goods around the country at a time when people were forced to stay inside due to a national lockdown. Ellison, 32, was in fact transporting huge amounts of cocaine and money.
Ellison, of Grape Lane, Croston, was jailed this week for 15 years for conspiracy to supply cocaine and three years for money laundering, with the sentences to run consecutively.
