Carl Stewart was involved in supplying large amounts of class A and B drugs, but was caught out by his love of Stilton cheese, after sharing a picture of a block of it in his hand through EncroChat, said Detective Inspector Lee Wilkinson in a statement at the end of last week. His palm and fingerprints were analyzed from this picture and it was established they belonged to Stewart.
Wilkinson said the EncroChat takedown, known as Operation Venetic, has led Merseyside Police to arrest more than 60 people, many of whom face charges for drug trafficking or firearms offenses.
