🚨 Bust at the Gate! 🚨 Liam Key, 23, set up a drug deal expecting a customer but was met by the police instead. Nervous and shaky, he was caught with a stash of cocaine ready for distribution. 💊
Police presence loomed when Key messaged a client saying he was “out by the gate”. Officers discovered him in his car during an investigation – and his tales weren’t adding up. A quick search revealed more than he bargained for: cocaine, cash, and damning messages on his phone.
Messages showed Key supplying cocaine and cannabis to at least 17 eager customers. Deals hit up to £380, some even made “on tick.” One client was in debt for £510 and another for £650. Key’s phone was a goldmine of evidence, connecting him to drug offences spanning across two months.
Though attempting to balance illegal activities with full-time work, Key’s actions caught up with him. The court heard about his prior offences, and despite coming from a supportive family, his past couldn’t save him from a 36-month sentence.
It’s a reminder that crime doesn’t pay, no matter how slick you think your operation is! Stay informed and stay safe. 🏛️
