A gang of drug dealers was caught by the police thanks to a can of Stella Artois lager and a ham sandwich, it has been revealed. Images of the beer and snack were "shared" on encrypted mobile phones used by Richard Wylie, 36, and Richard Whiteside, 55.
Police said the photos - and what could be seen in the background - helped them catch the pair after they were matched to Whiteside's address in Blackpool, Lancashire.
Wylie and Whiteside were caught as part of the ongoing Operation Venetic investigation into the use of the encrypted EncroChat network, the Manchester Evening News reports.
