Meth dealer dad left TK Maxx bag of £35k drugs inside taxi

A crystal meth dealer incriminated himself after leaving behind £35,000 worth of the drug in a TK Maxx bag in the back of a taxi.

Sean O'Neill also accidentally left ketamine and cannabis in the car which he had used to fetch cardboard boxes, believed to contain bottles of GBL - another illegal drug. O'Neill had booked a taxi on December 18 last year to drop him off at the Lumiere Building in Manchester.

Earlier that day the 29-year-old dad-of-two went to a storage facility in Salford where he was handed a red TK Maxx bag which he put in the rear of the taxi. Prosecutor David Watson told Liverpool Crown Court O'Neill later rang the cab firm after realising he had left the bag of drugs inside the taxi.
