Two thugs blackmailed an innocent mum into giving them thousands of pounds to pay off some of her ex's drug debt - with one of them telling her: "I'm from Salford, mate." Christopher Swift, 30, and Sebastian Jones, 35, were met by the victim's young son when they banged on her front door.
She was intimidated into paying cash towards her former partner's drug debt on October 7 last year. The victim managed to get her children upstairs before Swift launched into an 'aggressive' tirade.
He told her: "I'm from Salford, mate." A Crown Court judge wasn't impressed, telling Swift's solicitor: "He is not a gangster."
