A drug courier who collected huge sums of cash and chased debts was snared after police identified his fingerprints from photos of his hands. Jan Luke Carmichael used the EncroChat handle 'Lemonlager' while working mainly as a courier, but also dealing drugs himself.
The 34-year-old had sent selfies and images of his own hands which detectives used to bring him down. Carmichael, from Merseyside, would routinely move multi-kilo quantities of Class A and B drugs.
He would store imported contraband and then distribute it to customers across Merseyside as required, the Liverpool Echo reports. Merseyside Police's Operation Aquarium showed Carmichael conspiring to supply 14kg of cocaine, 6kg of heroin and 145kg of cannabis in total.
