ARMED POLICE Escort Child Murderer with GUNS DRAWN from HMP Strangeways to Liverpool Crown Court! 

Looking at the comments here it seems people are more bothered about how many police it takes to get him to prison than they are about the crime he committed. Annoys the hell out of me. RIP Olivia

There are a lot of comments about the amount of resources used to keep him protected. I think it's more about protecting the prisoner van from being attacked in order to release him.

They just doing their job, and do it professionally. My mate was a prison officer for 15 years. He does his duties well and professionally, even personally he hate the crimes which some criminals did.

Well captured from that angle. Shows the blockade and then the convoy.

They're obviously concerned about someone trying to kill Cashman- and if it happened, it'd most likely be a gangland rival. He was trying to kill a rival drug dealer, remember.

Great video mate. These would have been going to Manchester Crown Court as the case was too serious to be tried in Merseyside. Rest in peace Olivia.

I'm impressed. Its vital these criminals get to court in one piece to face justice and to allow the families and friends to see them, if they wish, facing up to their crimes and receiving the full weight of the law.

Great driving skills in a tight convoy. 10/10

I wouldn't be trying the handle of the only car parked outside the place I've just pulled up to with 10-16 of my armed buddies...

Throw away the key.... RIP Olivia Pratt Corbell

A lot of the commenters on here seem to have forgotten that whilst he was a child killing scumbag, yes - he was also a serious dealer, by his own admission, and as such would have had some very heavy gangland connections. That's why there's this level of armed policing and tactical driving.

It's amazing how equipped garbage collection is in England.

We have the same problem in the Netherlands, the high security jail is in Vught, the high security court in Amsterdam, that’s a 95 km drive. Therefore in 2024 there will be build a courtroom at the jail in Vught. Sorry for the child involved makes you sick to the stomach.

In the US when people are charged with heinous crimes, they receive a lot of police protection during transportation to prevent assassination. They seemed well-organized.

Awesome video!!

The armed guard is to prevent serious criminals from escaping, with the aid of their pal's, not to protect them. Regarding the number of Police, that actually is a small number should they come under fire from Automatic weapons or worse. They are doing a vital and dangerous job to protect us from these people, and anyone who has a problem with that, is likely of the same mindset as the person they are escorting.

RIP Olivia 💔💔

Great video mate

Looks like the first scene in a line of duty series 😝

It ain't the street citizens who will have contact for about 2 minutes with him, it's the prison system with the convicts who'll have months and years to get their time with him.

part of the reason they're there is to prevent people from mobbing him en route

Epic catch!

Now that’s a proper Cat A escort. Impressive.

About time Tony Blair was locked up, too...

These criminals are wasting the taxpayers money!

If you think this is impressive you should have seen the daily convoy taking Dale Cregan to Preston and back. We were overtaken by it one afternoon and were at the head of a huge peloton of cars following the convoy towards Manchester on the M61 when a driver behind us was distracted by an unrelated Police incident on the hard shoulder, hit another car and in my mirror I saw a mass pileup happen with bits of car flying in all directions. Glad we missed that!

Love that the van has bull bars! Banned for the public but totally understandable to make an exception for this purpose!

imagine that door slammming for 47 years... wow good luck

Judges and CPS need to get more serious about putting people who deserve it behind bars. Please build more prisons and get tougher on sentencing.

They look like my Sons when they were little playing Cops and Robbers ! RIP Olivia❤

How did they dodge the photographers and TV cameras?

Its crazy that the police will go to theese extreme lengths to protect a murderer of any kind.

Wow! Imagine seeing this on your dailt trip to work or the shops, Scary or what!

The following distances are very close to avoid overtaking and the citizen ending up in the middle of the convoy.

Could be anyone in there, this happens weekly from the cat A unit in Manchester.

Surprised that parked car wasn't moved before hand, potential risk?

“For gods sake, at least look like you know what you’re doing” 😂

I don't get why you need to be taken to court after already being convicted. They can just decide the sentence and send a letter to you in prison or if they want to maintain integrity of both sides, they can just call him within the prison and have court session take place over a video conference call, like it was the case during covid

Those wail sirens to my ears are earrape 😂

This video make me think about how the French people transported this mafia boss where the guards got shot at a toll station.

"(Showing)Mercy to the guilty....is cruelty to the innocent!". An '👁' for an '👁'....!!👀🎯😎👍

in my country whenever they escort a child molester/murderer or a rapist in general for some reason the prison van usually gets into an accident and the van flips over so the criminal takes his chance tries to escape by attacking the escorting officers but gets shot in the face instead

What a waste of tax payer's money!

looks like they know this tool is on borrowed time and want him convicted and stowed away.

Child murderers get more protection than children

Look at the cost of this. For a murderer. Unbelievable. R

With operations like this, people are often held in different prisons, even police stations around the UK to throw people off. The convoys you see are often for show and have no prisoners in the vans. I have seen old builders vans, a BT van and Iceland home delivery van with a cage in the back and a black taxi - all used to carry prisoners covertly. They're often where they need to be a day or two before they need to be to avoid any attacks or breakout attempts. There was a rumour that a station in Liverpool had this type of holding cell underneath it and many buildings have "secret" rooms, so if people do get in, they will not get that far. All rumours by the way, but those that know will know what I am on about.

Probably worried about "A Time to Kill" happening.

Such a crying shame young olivia and many others weren't/arent afforded the same protection, shouldnt you boys be guarding the next bunch of potential mass murderers holed up in hotels at the expense of their potential victims, im sure there must be .ore than one kiddy killer amongst that lot. RIP OLIVIA AND ALL INNOCENT VICTIMS.❤

Truthfully I don't believe he needs that much protection! I'd like to tell you he really deserves but it would get me banned from here!

Coming out the shops trying to get in your nissan quashqui 😮

As an American, I wasn't expecting this to be considered "guns drawn"

Should' not be in prison, 60 years ago would have been a hanging offence.

They look very happy.

I'd hate to think aboutwhat the driver of the parked Nissan was thinking at that point

In Poland we call it just police.

Not quite guns drawn, more like weapons at the carry!

Strangeways - The Home of Boddington Bitter🍺🍦Do you want a flake in that? 😂

The western legal system is by far and away the best but spending all those resources to keep someone safe who should have just been taken out back is really hard to see

Pity the Police aren't as tough as they appear in this video. We live in a dreamworld.

The first Police car behind the Van says "POLICF"

Me, getting transported to prison after being caught with 1g of Marijuana at my homies place

I thought it was police overkill at first … but after reading the comments as see all the police are there I understand

Or was that Ronnie pickering giving evidence 🤔

Let's take a moment to appreciate how much calmer, professional and efficient the UK police are compared to the yanks. Who is this guy, is he the one that shot a girl while chasing and trying to kill someone else,, in Liverpool?

All this police presence for one person what an absolute joke

Tony Blair has finally been arrested.

Why ? So much resources wasted. That level of security is completely not needed.

Wow

They are protecting the prisoner not the public

Not many police escorting, they use to be far more for some of the prisoner movements, sometimes which a helicopter following above.

Those Police really weren't f@cking about, were they? 😵‍💫

Ask yourself is his life worth more than the life he took

Is this a common safety precaution when transporting convicts who comitted especially frowned upon crimes, or is this the result of concrete threats towards the prisoner?

This is enough protections. Not going to lie.

Take this person to never land.😮

How times have changed when the lowest of the low get the same protection as the highest of the high!

What a complete waste of tax payers money, and a waste of police time.

I assume he had been sentenced to the offence before you uploaded the video and gave it the title ?.

The Police could have made a lot less noise doing this. They could have simply, and politely asked the murderer if he would kindly step into the Black Maria.

Your tax pays for criminal protection

This is the site of this country when Bobbies are dressed like SAS commandos

and yet, pedestrian road is wide open

Their rifles are being held in the "patrol carry" position. They are not "drawn".

“Stan” “Yes” “Can you drive the white van for us” “Will I get some protection” “Yes, no worries, i can arrange something small for you”

Very close convoy driving!

GMP are obsessed with this type of escort for Cat A prisoners. Rarely see such escorts in London, even the PM's is less intense.

I know to get all my electrics from Colin Khalid Ltd now. Thanks guys!

In the good old days he wouldn't have made it to jail...attempted escape results in....

Straight on to protection unit absolutely shitting himself..oh my days a scouse child killer in strange ways manchester...MERRY CHRISTMAS PAL 😂😂😂😂

Its actually a sign of a degrading society where the official are more apt to protect its own ass instead of the law abiding.

What the hell are they doing?protecting an evil man from what?what a waste of tax payers money

Why are they taking him away in a normal minibus and not an armoured prison van?

Knowing Ur never seeing walking down Rd again

How close does the van driver want to folllow?😢

Why did they allow him to carry guns?

RIP Olivia 🌹

Don't see the point of all those police, no-one's going to know who's in the van anyway when it leaves the prison.

Why are child murderers needing a escort is beyond me

This obviously wasn't sentencing day as he didn't leave his cell to stand like a man.
