Najeef Saleem and Nahidul Monaf have been jailed
The discovery of thousands of messages, guns stashed in a shed and a 'Mexican drug lord' username helped police bring down a pair of EncroChat crooks.
CCTV showed the pair accessing the shed on several occasions prior to the raid, before forensic examinations uncovered crucial evidence linking Monaf and Saleem to the weapons. A radio frequency detector was also seized. The devices are used by organised crime groups to establish if law enforcement is tracking their vehicles or mobile devices. Monaf was arrested at an address on Rita Ave in Moss Side, where police uncovered cannabis plants.
Discussing the 'sick sprayer' he had just bought, conversations then detailed how two bullets would 'do the job as long as they didn't miss.'
