Criminals who robbed £1million worth of cocaine from an organised crime group in Liverpool are now facing years behind bars – but will also have to “look over their shoulder” for the rest of their life.
A group of criminals are facing 15 years behind bars after storming a stash house run by the “biggest firm in Liverpool”.
But now, after plotting and carrying out a major £1million heist on the Liverpool organised crime group, it is more than just time behind bars they will face. According to Jason Cox’s lawyer, he will now have to “look over his shoulder” for “most of the rest of his life”.
The stash house was situated on a residential street in Liverpool, and housed kilos upon kilos of cocaine worth millions. Cox – leader of a Salford crime family – and Richard Caswell teamed up for the major robbery. Another robber pretended to be a delivery driver and knocked on the door before the team burst in.
It was a successful heist: the robbers fled not long afterwards with 30 kilos of cocaine, worth up to £1 million. It was a violent attack, and the dad and son inside the house were attacked with an axe and machete during the raid. The court heard that the robbery team left a “trail of blood in their wake”.
