'Let's get this house done Simmo': Downfall of dealer in plot to terrorise millionaire
A 'professional drug dealer' who was part of a plot to rob and torture a wealthy businessman has lost a bid to reduce his prison sentence. Wayne Simmonds joined forces with a Manchester-based organised crime group who discussed torturing an elderly man - including cutting his ear off or holding an iron to his chest - and posing as police officers as part of a £500,000 robbery scheme.
