Secret EncroChat messages drug dealers exchanged about 'idiot gofer'

A drug dealer was described as a "little idiot" by a Liverpool gangster in a series of secret EncroChat messages.

Jack Brownsill, 23, was involved in a plot to flood the streets with about 50 kilos of cannabis. He also acted as a courier and 'gofer' for the Cox organised crime family. The Salford based firm, led by Jason Cox with the help of his brothers Craig and Lee Cox, were involved in dealing up to 20 kilos of cocaine, the MEN reports.

They also launched an audacious armed robbery at the stash house of a notorious Liverpool gang, after joining forces with Liverpool gangster Richard Caswell, getting away with about £1 million of cocaine and leaving two men seriously injured. Brownsill was acquitted of having any involvement in cocaine dealing or the robbery.
