A drug dealer who used the EncroChat handle 'Foxhedge' blew kisses to his partner as he was being sent down.
Joseph Byrne, of Huyton, was found to be a drug broker and supplied narcotics across the country. Liverpool Crown Court heard how the 44-year-old was involved with at least 30 kilos of cocaine and heroin as well as thousands of pounds worth of cannabis.
In an EncroChat message he told another user he was carrying £38k he owed when driving through a police stop check area. Byrne, who used the EncroChat handle 'FoxHedge', said: "It was heavvvyyy s**t myself."
