Drug dealer smuggled 560kg of amphetamines through Fylde caravan park
Terence Earle, 48, played a “leading role” in a Merseyside-based organised crime gang which plotted to supply cocaine in England and Scotland and produce amphetamines in a “secret laboratory” north of the border, Liverpool Crown Court heard.
In December that year, a lorry which had been loaded from a warehouse at Reams Hill Caravan Park in Weeton, Lancashire, was stopped by police and 560kg of the chemical was found on board. The defendant compared his Encrochat messages, which were hacked by law enforcement agencies in 2020, to a book that could be interpreted in different ways by different readers.
He said: “I’m sure you were playing a leading role in this conspiracy. You were organising, buying and selling on a commercial scale.” Julian Nutter, defending, said the “beef” of Earle’s business was in class B drugs and his guilty pleas took “some courage”.
