Birmingham’s Most Wanted Drug Dealer Nabbed in Amsterdam After 8 Years on the Run!

Fugitive Caught Red-Handed

Mark Liscott, a notorious drug trafficker from Great Barr, Birmingham, has finally been arrested in Amsterdam. The criminal had been on the run for nearly eight years after fleeing justice.

From Midlands Crime to Dutch Drama

Liscott was originally jailed in 2005 for a major cannabis resin supply racket in the Midlands. He was released on licence in 2012 but vanished shortly after, prompting a long manhunt by the East Midlands Special Operations Unit (EMSOU).
