A man found with 2kg of cocaine wrapped up in a Tesco carrier bag under the seat of his van blew a kiss in court after being sentenced. Thomas Kehoe, 29, was sentenced at court on Friday (August 12) for a catalogue of charges relating to drug activity.
Oliver King, prosecuting, said that Kehoe, was linked by police to a regional drug ring called the “Josh Team”, which was flooding Class A substances from Merseyside into Cheshire. Mr King told the court that Kehoe had first caught the attention of officers in Birmingham on February 18 when he was noticed making numerous short stops in various residential areas.
The van entered a cul-de-sac and parked up. When Kehoe emerged, a detective approached to speak to him, but Kehoe saw them, jumped back in and tried to drive off, according to Cheshire Live.
