Liverpool man jailed for eight years and four months for Class A drugs conspiracy

A Liverpool man has today, Tuesday 19 May, been jailed for eight years and four months for Class A drugs offences.

On 7 May 2025, officers executed a warrant at the home address of Carl Currie on Westdale Road in Wavertree and recovered large quantities of cutting agents (pictured below), together with Class A drugs and a mobile phone.

Assistance was sought from the Drug Support Unit and Operation Aquarium, the EncroChat investigation team, in reviewing messages contained on the phone.

Messages were identified using the Signal messaging app that showed Currie conspiring with two others to transport multiple kilos of cocaine and heroin around the UK.

Currie, 33, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply and possession of Class A drugs (heroin and cocaine). Today at Liverpool Crown Court he was sentenced to a total of eight years and four months in prison.

Police staff investigator Stephen Twidale said: “Drug supply is hugely damaging to our communities, often involving intimidation, violence and the creation of fear.

“Currie was responsible for orchestrating deliveries and quality checking the importing cocaine. The Judge noted that he effectively flooded the north of England with drugs.

“Criminals involved in organised crime have no thoughts for anyone other than themselves, and their criminal intent and greed.

“Our work remains ongoing to find those responsible for the sale and distribution of drugs and bring them to justice and as always we would ask for the public’s assistance in identifying those responsible.”
