A drug dealer alerted police to his exploits after carving his name and address into a branch on the territory he sought to control.
Shane Unwin scratched his nickname - ‘Onion’ - and the Huyton estate he lived on into a tree close to where his dealers operated. Part of the message also read: “F*** the drug squad”.
Unwin led a crack cocaine and heroin network that operated on the streets of Warrington. Hotspots for their activity included Great Sankey Valley Park, the scene of the tree carving that, referring to the Longview estate, read: “Onion of Longy, Huyton.”
