A criminal planned to buy a decommissioned ambulance to move drugs around the country during lockdown.
Dad-of-two Martin Grant, 33, was jailed for over 14 years on Friday after Liverpool Crown Court heard he acted as a "wholesale broker" within the drug economy. Grant supplied high quality cocaine from South America and heroin.
Grant, who used the Encro handle 'SwiftOrchid ' began selling drugs days after he was released from prison on licence in 2019. Grant had been jailed for ten years in 2015 for slashing a man across the face with a knife.
