ONE BAD HABIT
FROM THE RUINS OF TOXTETH TO THE TOP OF THE INTERPOL MOST WANTED LIST.
THE CURTIS WARREN STORY
He was the only criminal to ever make the Sunday Times Rich List. He possessed a photographic memory, a genius for logistics, and a fortune estimated at £200 million. They said he was untouchable. They were wrong.
​
THE RISE
Born in the rubble of 1960s Liverpool, Curtis "Cocky" Warren was never meant to be a king. A bouncer. A street dealer. A scally. But Curtis had something the others didn’t: a mind like a steel trap. By cutting out the middlemen and dealing directly with the cartels, he transformed from a street-corner hustler into the mastermind of a global empire—smuggling tons of cocaine inside solid lead ingots that were invisible to X-rays.
​
THE TRAP
Jersey, 2007. Fresh out of a Dutch super-prison, Warren touches down on the sleepy island of Jersey. He thinks it’s just a "little starter" deal—a £1 million cannabis importation to get back in the game. But the States of Jersey Police are waiting.
​
THE GAME
What follows is a high-stakes game of cat and mouse that shatters the rulebook. Desperate to catch the man Scotland Yard calls "Target One," Jersey police cross a line from which there is no return.
-
The Surveillance: Bugging a hire car across three international borders.
-
The Deception: Lying to French and Dutch authorities to plant the devices.
-
The Betrayal: A legal system pushed to the breaking point.
THE FALL
Witness the chaotic takedown on a Jersey promenade where the ultimate tough guy is brought to his knees by armed police. Experience the "trial of the century," where the courthouse is turned into a fortress, and the defense reveals a shocking truth: To catch the ultimate criminal, the police had to become criminals themselves.
​
FEATURING:
-
The £87 Million Smirk: The moment he walked free from a seemingly airtight case.
-
The "Chloe" Encounter: The chilling charm of a drug lord chatting up an innocent teen on a commercial flight, moments before his arrest.
-
The 198 Million Pound Question: The confiscation order he refuses to pay, choosing prison over poverty.
Genius. Gangster. Ghost.
Coming 2028.

"I could take Britain back... and I could take Jersey easily."
