An"extremely dangerous" gangland enforcer who plotted to blind people with acid has been convicted of an attack which left a man with life-changing injuries.
Gordon nearly permanently blinded the victim of the acid attack and planned another attack on a man at a property where a grenade was discovered in the front garden. He and Gordon planned a second acid attack on a man in Blackpool - with the crime boss declaring the victim"needs a good litre on him" - and a third attack on a man in Warrington.Gordon and his crime boss exchanged a message containing an image of 'Bloombastic' acid. Pic: NCAThe Blackpool attack was cancelled because it was during the first lockdown and the offenders were worried about police spotting their stolen car.
But the next day, the three offenders were approached by patrol officers in Liverpool and ran off, with police seizing the stolen car. Because of this, the OCG paused the acid attack because it was obvious law enforcement had become involved.EncroChat messages also showed Gordon had been involved in a street gunfight in January 2020 with an unknown man, telling his boss he"let off a clip in the street".An acid canister was recovered by officers.
