Curtis Warren - once dubbed 'Britain's Pablo Escobar' - has been freed from jail after serving a 14 year sentence. Here, the M.E.N's Damon Wilkinson looks back at the plot that landed him in jail.
Curtis 'Cocky' Warren had been a free man for just five weeks. But the notorious drugs trafficker - once dubbed 'Britain's Pablo Escobar' - was keen to get back to business as soon as possible.
While serving time in Netherlands' highest security prison he'd been cooking up what he described as 'just a little starter' - a plot to smuggle more than £1m of cannabis into the Channel Islands. His plan was to buy 180kg of the drug in Amsterdam, where it would then be taken to an isolated stretch of coast in Normandy, France.
