"No f****** about": The words of a cocaine dealer came back to haunt him

A dad embroiled himself in 'very large scale' cocaine dealing after being seduced by the prospect of 'easy money'. Kurt Jervis described the murky world he descended into as 'proper serious and organised crime'.

He worked as a courier for Stockport based drugs boss Aaron Wright, who was at 'the top of the tree' of the crime gang. Wright, 37, was said to be involved with at least 60 kilos of cocaine, while Jervis was linked to 39 kilos of the class A drug.

The huge scale of their involvement in the criminal underworld was exposed when law enforcement gained access to the EncroChat network, the encrypted phone system previously thought to be impenetrable. In one message to Wright, using his EncroChat username 'One Sicario', Jervis, 37, who has a teenage son, said: "Proper serious and organised crime this bro. Kilos drops before 11am and 1000s passed before 1pm, no f****** about. All while ur sat scratching ur a**."
