Dozens of dangerous criminals were taken off the streets of Merseyside after being jailed at Liverpool Crown Court in October.
They included a man who stabbed his mum in an alcohol and cocaine-fuelled attack at their Wirral home; a thug with a record of violence against women; and a man who carried out a racially aggravated attack in which he held a knife to an Iraqi shopkeeper’s throat.
Also put behind bars were a dad who battered his little girl and her mum in a violent attack; a man who sent a “revenge porn” video of his ex girlfriend to her 10 year old brother; and a woman who carried out a “wicked fraud” by swindling a disabled man out of thousands of pounds by claiming to be related to former Reds star Steven Gerrard.
Meanwhile, 12 members of a £5.6m Liverpool drugs ring which was smashed after a 12-month police operation were given a total of 60 years behind bars, while three teenagers were locked up for a total of 25 years after a 16-year-old boy was found stabbed in the heart in Halewood after a “straightener."
