Cox brothers ordered to repay £80,826 after cocaine heist

Jason and Craig Cox, who were jailed for their involvement in a £1.2 million cocaine heist, have been ordered to repay over £80,000 or face an additional nine months in prison. The Cox brothers, along with accomplices, attacked a stash house in Liverpool in May 2020, stealing approximately 30kg of cocaine while seriously injuring the occupants. Jason received a 14-year and eight-month sentence, while Craig was sentenced to 13 years and six months, later reduced on appeal. Their older brother, Lee Cox, was sentenced to eight years for his role in supplying drugs but did not participate in the raid. A judge imposed confiscation orders totaling £80,826 based on their criminal profits, with the requirement to pay by a specified date to avoid extended incarceration. The case highlights ongoing efforts by authorities to dismantle organized crime and recover illicit profits.
