An EncroChat drug dealer who used the handle "CarbonZero" used his car and van hire company as a front to sell heroin and cocaine.
Thomas Robinson, 43, of St Mary’s Road, Huyton, was linked to a large scale supply of Class A drugs between the period of March to June 2020. Messages and images recovered by detectives showed Robinson was clearly an active member of a drugs supply network, along with other gang members.
It was uncovered that Robinson was using his business, called Practical Car and Van Hire, as a front to sell drugs. The 43-year-old was found guilty of conspiracy to supply heroin and cocaine following a trial at Liverpool Crown Court. He was jailed for 17 years today, May 26.
