Fugitive gangster Sam Walker taunts cops with Instagram post showing him outside police station after returning to the UK

A convicted gangster has taunted cops by posing outside a police station after allegedly sneaking back into the UK on a private helicopter.

Sam Walker, 34, gloated on camera about escaping the country on a helicopter and fleeing to Sierra Leone in order to evade arrest earlier this year.

The drug dealer, from Liverpool, now claims to have flown back into the UK, landing in a field before being driven away in a car.

Mr Walker claims to have clocked up about 100 offences. He is now wanted for failing to show up to court for driving without a licence.

He posted a video on social media in which he is parked right outside a police station which he claims was in Merseyside.

The text in the video says: "How to get into the UK when police say they will nick you and put you in jail as soon as you will get back."

He shows a newspaper to prove the date which reads 4 July.

A police car can be seen with its sirens on driving off in the background.

In April, he said that he was skipping attending his upcoming court appearance in order to deliver containers of aid to a Sierra Leone slum.

Mr Walker was jailed in 2008 for four-and-half years for his part in a heroin and crack-cocaine dealing gang.

In a statement Cheshire police said: "Enquiries have been ongoing into Sam Walker’s whereabouts since he failed to appear at Chester Magistrates Court on 20 April 2018 in relation to a disqualified driving offence.

Police appealed for anyone with any information to contact Cheshire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
