Gangster Curtis Warren faces new drugs charges from jail

He may have been locked up in a Dutch prison cell for almost a decade, but Curtis Warren is still the name in Liverpool's underworld - thanks to cell phones smuggled into prison, reports icLiverpool.

Charged with charges relating to a plot to smuggle 500kg of cannabis into the UK, if he's convicted, it will be the second time the man once dubbed "Target One" by Interpol has committed a major crime while behind bars.

According to the police, Warren was picked up on intercepted telephone calls from his Dutch prison talking about deals in a less-than-subtle way.
