'Cuppa Tea' dealer tried sourcing cocaine days after daughter was born

A drug dealer who "thought he was invincible" was trying to source wholesale amounts of cocaine only days after the birth of his daughter.

Terence Page traded in huge quantities of class A and B substances on EncroChat, using the handles CuppaTea and WorldPossum. He is now facing a second lengthy prison stretch for drug trafficking offences.

Liverpool Crown Court heard today, Friday, that the 40-year-old used two different devices on the encrypted communications service and was involved in the supply of at least 14kg of heroin, 1.75kg of cocaine and 2kg of amphetamine. The broker and middle man was part of an "intricate network which coordinated, sourced and supplied substantial quantities of class A drugs".
