🚨 Crime doesn’t pay: Just ask Christian Byrne and Kristina Lang, the couple who were busted after police pulled them over on Boxing Day! 🚘 When officers stopped Byrne, who was driving without a licence or insurance, they were in for quite a find. Inside the car? A lock knife and a sock hiding £1,000-worth of cocaine. 😲
But that was just the tip of the iceberg! After delving deeper, the police discovered 54.9g of cocaine at Byrne’s home, with a street value of up to £5,600. 🏠
Their mobile phones were another goldmine of evidence, revealing incriminating messages showing their involvement in drug dealing dating back to 2020. 💬 Lang even organised deals herself, syncing payments to her bank and advertising “Cali” cannabis!
The court heard Byrne, 42, had been wrestling with a cocaine addiction, worsened by personal tragedies, while Lang, 25, was said to be influenced by him. 🌟 The result? Byrne received a 42-month sentence and a driving ban, while Lang was given a suspended sentence along with a £500 fine.🚔
