A convicted armed robber was caught with a £500,000 cocaine cargo after trying to speed away from police - who had seen his car had a light out.
Ashley Makin, 32, who had previously carried out a terrifying raid on a McDoanld's restaurant in Stockport, was travelling on the M6 northbound, alone, towards Penrith, Cumbria, in a black Vauxhall Insignia just before 3pm on Friday, July 1. “It had a light out,” prosecutor Tim Evans told Carlisle Crown Court.
