Lewis Connor, 27, was snared by French authorities after they cracked the Encrochat communication system.
Lewis Connor, 27, set fire to a property near Falkirk which had been seized by prosecutors. Connor was snared after French authorities cracked the Encrochat communication system which criminals used to hide their illicit activities.
Another message revealed BigTasty, who has not been named for legal reasons, wanted CeCe's salon in Hamilton, Lanarkshire, targeted and instructed Connor to put the owner under surveillance. The salon was gutted by a blaze just days after the Falkirk property had been targeted. He said he was 'in shock' when police found plastic jerry cans in the garden and told a jury he later sold the damaged house at a huge loss. The trial heard he had noticed a 'suspicious' Range Rover vehicle in the area in the days before the fire.
