The operation was based in a secret location off the M62 motorway, known to police on the unit as 'Fraggle Rock'
The number one target for Interpol was asleep in bed when Dutch police stormed his hideaway armed with stun grenades and automatic weapons. The crack police unit had spent months watching him before they swooped.
When Warren switched from Liverpool to Holland the Crayfish team shared intelligence with their Dutch counterparts. The Holland based police operation, codenamed Prisma, was determined to smash Warren's gang which included veteran criminals from across the north west. The Metropolitan Police later revealed the full extent of the plan to free Haase and Bennett. The two men received life sentences in 2008 for their part in a plot to pervert the course of justice.
Warren was heard talking to close friend Tony Bray about an attempted shooting outside the infamous Venue nightclub, in Green Lane, Tuebrook, in July 1996. Warren’s good friend, Philip Glennon Jnr, was suspected of trying to shoot two bouncers who had slung him out after a kick-off inside. Using TV Gladiator Mike Ahearne, better known to millions of fans as Warrior from the popular Saturday night show, as a go-between, Davies passed details of the car, home and children's nursery trips of a key police officer in the case in return for £10,000 from Bray.
