An EncroChat drug dealer disguised his operation as a car business while he transported kilograms of drugs labelled with the Netflix logo.
Richard Weild, 39, of Mount Pleasant Road, Wallasey, boasted that he could make £30,000 a week and specialised in adulterating cocaine for organised crime groups (OCGs) up and down the country. Weild became known for his expertise in bulking out multi-kilo deals of cocaine with branded labels stamped into the blocks of drugs.
He had a clothing and watch collection worth at least £70,000 and operated under the EncroChat handle of Blacklable. With more than 50 criminal contacts, including some overseas, he managed to supply County Lines drug gangs across the north west and as far afield as Plymouth and Southampton.
