In a surprising turn of events, a drugs gang leader was caught in his dressing gown. Police raided his home, leading to a dramatic arrest that unfolded in front of shocked officers.
Wistaston: You won’t believe what just happened! A guy named Harvey Etchells, who ran a drugs gang, got arrested at home. And get this—he was in his dressing gown!
When the police showed up, he tried to make a run for it. He dashed upstairs, hoping to flush evidence down the toilet. But the officers were right behind him.
They caught him just outside the bathroom. A mobile phone was later found in a manhole in his garden. Talk about a close call!
Cheshire Police even shared footage of the arrest. You can see Etchells, handcuffed, casually saying “sweet” to an officer. He was taken in for questioning.
At Chester Crown Court, he pleaded guilty to serious charges, including supplying heroin. He got sentenced to three years and seven months in prison. Not a great outcome for him!
Turns out, he was using two phone numbers to sell drugs in the Crewe area. The police had been tracking him for a while, and they finally executed a warrant at his home.
When they searched his place, they found all sorts of evidence. There were papers with names and numbers linked to drug possession. Plus, a huge knife was discovered in his bedroom.
Etchells claimed he used it for gardening. Yeah, right! The police weren’t buying that excuse. It’s wild how things unfolded for him.
