Encrochat gangster 'LimeEagle' set up pizza delivery driver shooting

A drug dealer organised a gangland hit when an innocent man was gunned down by a fake pizza delivery driver.

The victim was shot in the leg by a thug who knocked on his front door and shouted "pizza delivery" while holding fast food boxes. Norris Green "fixer" Lewis Fitzpatrick, who arranged the botched hit in Warrington, was today locked up for 26 years over the shocking attack and EncroChat drug plots.
