Heroin trafficker grandad's gang holidayed in Las Vegas while claiming benefits

A gang ran by a heroin trafficking grandad holidayed in Las Vegas while claiming benefits.

Stanley Feerick was locked up at Liverpool Crown Court this week after using his job as a lorry driver as cover to transport hundreds of thousands of pounds of the Class A drug across the country. The pensioner was also part of an organised crime group behind a £1million amphetamine lab who carried out their dodgy dealings in a Costco car park.

The ECHO can now reveal that he was previously jailed 10 years ago after being revealed as the ringleader of a money laundering racket. Feerick was one of six people imprisoned over the £350,000 plot, which saw bundles of dirty cash stored at a house in Dovecot after a delivery from a "big ugly man who looked like Shrek".
