## Resource

A slick drug dealer thought he was untouchable—using a VPN and dodging cops in North Kilburn—but his tech skills failed him when he logged into public Wi-Fi. Police tracked him to Wembley, found him hiding in a wardrobe, and raided his stash: £8,800 worth of Class A drugs, £8,000 cash, a loaded gun, machete, and flip knife. He’d recruited teens for dangerous deals, tearing communities apart. Now 34-year-old Joel Louis faces 12 years and 9 months for fueling county lines crime—a chilling reminder that no tech can hide from justice.
