'Brazen' Fleetwood mum-of-five caught smuggling Vietnamese nationals in car boot had 'decoy' in front seat
A Fleetwood mum was found to be smuggling Vietnamese nationals into the country in the boot of her car.
Then, on December 13, mother and son James Liddiard and Andrea Cavanagh were stopped with a further two concealed migrants. The same day, Louisa Harrison and David Finn were caught transporting three stowaways locked in the trunk.The Home Office said that UK Border Control stopped a total of four vehicles at Coquelles, near Calais, between December 8 and 13 2018. Checks showed that each had booked short-notice trips to France which would allow them visits of less than 24 hours.
Investigations found that "expenditure for the trips was inconsistent with their financial situation", with all the suspects having been unemployed at the time. Liddiard, of Huyton Lane in Huyton, was said to have "agreed to do it because he owed money". Zoe Chapman, defending, told the court that her client was "taking drugs every day" at the time. But the 30-year-old's conviction was said to have been a "catalyst for change" in his life, including tackling his substance abuse issues.
Harrison, of Brunswick Parade in Waterloo, was described as being "in significant debt" and "believed she was going to get cigarettes and alcohol" from France before discovering the true nature of her trip shortly before leaving England. Ms Chapman said in her submissions that the 44-year-old former carer has otherwise lived a "commendable life" and has no previous convictions.
Liddiard was jailed for two years, while Finn was handed 22 months behind bars. White - who is also known as Charli Maddock - received a two-year imprisonment suspended for two years and a six-month electronically-monitored curfew from 7pm to 7am.
