A man has admitted helping a suspected drugs and firearms trafficker to flee the country. Liam O'Brien, formerly of Leyfield Road in West Derby , was arrested in Colombia earlier this month and is awaiting extradition back to the UK.

Christopher O'Brien, of Mill Lane in Old Swan , appeared before Liverpool Crown Court yesterday, Thursday, November 27, charged with perverting the course of justice, a charge which states that he "arranged to take Liam O'Brien out of the country and assist him to evade arrest".
