A PAIR of drug dealers have been jailed after police accessed an encrypted messaging network that identified them when they shared selfies of their lockdown hair styles.

Anthony James Dean, 42, and William James Swann, 39, had used the service Encrochat to trade wholesale quantities of heroin, cocaine and cannabis in a £1million operation.

Liverpool Crown Court heard they ran an extensive drug-dealing network throughout the UK, with contacts all over Europe.
