A Merseyside gang led by Joshua Hayes was sentenced to over 100 years for trafficking drugs and weapons, aided by audio evidence and encrypted communications.
Twelve members of a Merseyside organized crime group led by Joshua Hayes, known as "the Boss Man," were sentenced to over 100 years in prison after a 15-month investigation uncovered a large-scale drug and firearms operation.
Police used audio surveillance from a hidden device in Hayes’ Mercedes to expose a network that supplied about 9kg of cocaine and over 240kg of cannabis, with street value up to £900,000 and £3.7 million respectively.
Three firearms—including two Skorpion submachine guns and a pistol—were found hidden in a wall void at a Litherland flat, with DNA from co-defendants and a teenager linking them to the weapons.
Hayes, who managed the operation while vacationing in Turkey and Tenerife, was sentenced to 20 years.
Other members were jailed for drug trafficking, gun possession, and money laundering, with evidence including encrypted phones, burner devices, and laundered funds through third-party accounts.
The case highlights a coordinated law enforcement effort to dismantle a serious criminal enterprise.
