A father and son who received threat to life warnings from police have been jailed for over 30 years.
Professional drug dealers Brian Maxwell, 54, and Brian Thomas Maxwell, 35, fell foul of a rival organised crime group who threatened violence. Today Liverpool Crown Court heard how the rival gang suspected Maxwell junior was involved in the theft of drugs that belonged to them.
On May 27 2020 the father and son received formal Osman warnings from Merseyside Police, which meant there was a threat to their lives. Nicola Daley, prosecuting, told the court how Maxwell junior tried to buy high powered weapons from criminal contacts in the underworld to defend himself from the threat.
