Airport thug caught with 14,000 cigarettes in luggage racially abused border cop
27.05.2023 - 14:21 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A thug called a border cop a "Rochdale paedo" after he was nabbed with 14,000 cigarettes in his luggage.
Michael Legros, 32, was in Manchester Airport, coming back from a holiday in Bali with his partner Heidi Mullis and their young children on May 24 2020 when he was stopped by border force officers.
Legros then began aggressively pacing up and down with his fists clenched as his suitcases were being searched, reports Liverpool Echo. The suitcase was opened and 14,000 cigarettes were discovered.
Legros called the officers "scruffy c****", before he added: "You only earn £20,000 a year - just keep the cigarettes," Liverpool Crown Court.
Zahra Baqri, prosecuting, said Legros told an Asian officer that he looked like a "Rochdale paedo". The unnamed officer was said to be physically shaken by the racial abuse.
The court heard the officer had been racially abused before in the job, but this "really shook him". Legros, was found guilty of the racially aggravated offence by a jury in Manchester on November 11.
His sentencing was delayed until Friday May 26, due to a number of other offences that were listed in court. Legros was involved in a disturbance in Aigburth, on July 31 2020 and threw a plastic bottle at someone during a fight that saw a woman assaulted.
The dad pleaded guilty under Section 4 of the Public Order Act, referred to as threatening behaviour or provoking violence, in December last year.
But in a case described by Honour Judge Brian Cummings as "far more serious", Legros was involved in an incident at a pub in Hale on May 15 last year where he was caught on CCTV brandishing a blade and threatening members of the public.
A jury was shown two videos of Legros, one at 10.30pm and another around two-and-a-half hours
