Gary Moffatt has been locked up for more than 21 years
A drug dealer was snared after police intercepted messages referencing a 'Dirty Harry' gun. Gary Moffatt, 35, traded wholesale quantities of heroin, cocaine and cannabis using the handle 'SmartRoyal' on encrypted communications platform EncroChat.
Moffatt, of the Spinney in Stockbridge Village, Merseyside, sent associates pictures from the inside and exterior of his house, a photo of his son and an image showing the youngster's toybox with his name on it. He indicated in his communications that he drove a black Nissan Qashqai and referred to 'ripping up the garden' and having artificial grass fitted, such work having been completed at his property. Pictures of a hand holding quantities of cannabis and prescription drugs were also found to match his fingerprints.
Mr Riding also referred to an exchange with 'GrandFisher', in which he appeared to be attempting to sell or exchange his 1892 model Colt revolver and obtain .357 and .3 calibre ammunition. In the messages, 'SmartRoyal' asked: "Can you get any slugs for 357?" Moffatt has a total of five previous convictions for 12 offences dating back to 2007. Matthew Buckland, defending, told the court: "References reveal something of a different side to Gary Moffatt. There was an emergency situation where a man was driving a motor vehicle and unfortunately suffered a cardiac arrest.
