Man tricked his dad into transporting 20kg drug haul because he was 'too tired' to drive
A man duped his dad into transporting drugs in a van without his knowledge because he was ‘too tired’ to drive.
“The subsequent search of his home at Uppingham, Skelmersdale, found a small amount of cocaine consistent with personal use. He was arrested and interviewed where he told officers he had been put in touch with somebody who arranged for him to collect and transport the bag of drugs.” The court heard it was very quickly determined by police that only Denton was aware of the drugs and the conspiracy to transport them. Denton has two previous convictions for four offences, but none relating to drugs.
“He was shaking when arrested. He has got himself involved in something well above his knowledge, and he succumbed to pressure due to finding difficulties during the cost of living and more importantly, he was a class A recreational drug user.”
