One of the UK’s most wanted criminals, known as “the Big Guy”, impregnated a woman while on the run in Spain where he “lived the life of Riley”.
Joshua Hendry led his mum and brother in a County Lines conspiracy which saw them traffic £1.3m of cocaine and heroin across the M62 from Liverpool to Grimsby. He later tried to evade justice by hiding in the Costa del Sol but was caught back in January.
A judge slammed the “irresponsible” 31-year-old earlier this week after it emerged he met a partner while on the run and she was now pregnant with his child. Sheffield Crown Court heard on Wednesday that Hendry set up his criminal enterprise just after being released from Scotland for similar crimes, our sister site Yorkshire Live reports .
