Bloxam received a 17-year sentence after admitting to drug charges. Police found cocaine in his van.
Bloxam made about £4,780,000 from dealing drugs. He spent the money on two houses. He used EncroChat, a secret messaging app, and called his supplier a “sweet shop.”
Bloxam used the name “EasyOrca” on EncroChat. He sold drugs in the North East and Ireland. He supplied 104 kg of cocaine and 58 kg of cannabis. Police found him after cracking EncroChat in 2020.
Bloxam’s messages from April and May 2020 proved his guilt. He bought and sold drugs from overseas. He chatted with users like ValueJaw, NewSpring, and BushyBarber. He also talked with TimidLord and WavyOtter.
Stephen Christian, age 43, was another contact. They discovered Christian in 2021. Police arrested Bloxam at his home in December 2024. They found 17 kg of cocaine in his van.
Bloxam asked police why he was arrested. They told him about EncroChat, and he said, “Ah, that.” Police also seized iPhones, a watch, and cash. The cash totaled £5,150.
Bloxam admitted to drug charges, including conspiracy to supply class A drugs like cocaine. He also admitted to charges about cannabis, a class B drug. He further admitted possessing criminal property.
The prosecutor said Bloxam had a leading role. He directed buying and selling on a large scale. He expected financial gain. The total amount of class A drugs was 124 kg.
Bloxam’s lawyer said he cooperated. Consequently, the judge sentenced him to prison for 17 years and four months.
Detective Inspector James Boardman stated that Bloxam used about 30 EncroChat handles. The drugs came from Holland and Spain, with customers across the UK and Ireland.
Police found Bloxam’s van was modified to hide drugs or cash. They removed a lot of cocaine. Police continue to fight organized crime to stop drug dealing.
