International drug trafficking plot smashed after gang member shared photo of his dog

A £45 million international drug trafficking plot was smashed after one of the gang revealed crucial evidence by sharing a photo of his dog.

Danny Brown, 55, included in the image the tag of his French Bulldog, named Bob, which had his partner’s phone number on it and was later used to help snare him.

Brown sent the photo anonymously to co-conspirator Stefan Baldauf, 62, using an encrypted phone network as they plotted to smuggle 448 kilos of MDMA to Australia.
