Catching the Kingpins: 2. Threat to Life
A murder is being planned with a gun bought via the EncroChat encrypted phone network. Will the police uncover the plot in time?
It's April 2020, and the Metropolitan Police are overwhelmed with messages hacked from the EncroChat network.
Buried among the millions of texts and photographs, are the outlines of a murder plot. An anonymous EncroChat user is trying to source a gun and some ammunition for a drive by shooting.
Will the police discover the messages before it鈥檚 too late? And will they be willing to risk the secrecy of the entire EncroChat operation by arresting someone on EncroChat evidence alone?
