Four members of the gang have now been jailed for almost 50 years between them
A major player in a notorious criminal gang supplying heroin, cocaine, and guns across Greater Manchester and the North West has been jailed after he was found with a Kinder Egg stashed with drugs inside.
Blake used the EncroChat handle 'Lemursea', prosecutor Jamie Baxter said, and over an eight month period from March to December 2020 sent dozens of messages discussing the trafficking of heroin, cocaine and guns. Several EncroChat conversations between Blake, his co-accused Shahid, who went by 'Driphard', and an unidentified figure known only by the handle 'Mocky' indicated the various drops and collections of cash and drugs.
Blake’s girlfriend, Holly Caldwell, also became involved in the enterprise, driving a haul of the weapons to Luton. On December 10 last year, Blake and Caldwell were arrested and a search of their vehicle recovered three mobile phones, £295, and a kinder egg which was concealing wraps of crack cocaine and heroin. Officers also found £660 in counterfeit cash and evidence of money laundering.
Mitigating for Blake, Tim Forte said: “From 2019 he was doing low level street dealing. He was a young man who grew up and made a very stupid decision. He can’t do anything else but reflect.Jailing Blake for 19 years, Judge Patrick Field KC said: “You were both leading lights. It’s clear from the exchange in the messages that you regarded this business as a means to set you and others up for the rest of your life.
