A dad who lived a double life as a drug kingpin worked with Colombian cartels to ferry cocaine across Europe.
Thomas Maher appeared to be just another ordinary dad who happened to run a successful haulage business. He lived in a modest home on Wiltshire Close in Warrington, where flash cars including a Range Rover and a Corvette lined the driveway.
Inside the home he owned Hublot and Rolex watches valued at hundreds of thousands of pounds, artwork and a world map made from bullets. The huge wealth on show far surpassed the earnings declared by Maher, triggering a National Crime Agency investigation that would eventually expose him as a linchpin of the underworld.
