A man who tortured hamsters he had brought from a Wirral pet store was also jailed this month.
Here are some of serious cases related to Wirral came before the courts in August.
Leo Meeks
Leo Meek 'took out' 15 year old Jack Jones while driving a Volkswagen Tiguan on Manor Drive in Upton at around 9.40pm on April 26 this year.
The 15-year-old from Moreton had been cycling the familiar route to his aunt's house after spending the evening watching a film with his little brother.
Meek, 22, left Jack with fatal head and neck injuries while speeding at between 53 and 55mph on a 30mph residential road.
He then fled the scene, and didn't even apply his brakes, ditching his friend's dad's car and getting a taxi home, where he went to bed.
Judge Menary said his failure to stop was "cowardly and callous" adding "you were then only concerned about yourself" as he was jailed for three years and four months, which was reduced from five years to reflect his guilty plea.
He was also disqualified from driving for three years from the date of his release.
Bradley Luxton
EncroChat cocaine boss Bradley Luxton joked in texts about the hack that would later see him locked up.
Bradley Luxton laughed with a fellow drug dealer that they would need 'loads of Skys' - an alternative platform to EncroChat.
The 34-year-old kept his two EncroChat phones until March the following year, when police raided his house and exposed his multi-kilo cocaine business.
Luxton dealt in various class A drugs and said he 'remained in the game' after £380,000 worth of drugs was stolen and he had to repay the debt to 'TopsKing'.
He admitted conspiracy to supply 31 kilos of cocaine, 200 tablets of MDMA, 14 grams of ketamine, 51 kilos of cannabis and four kilos of heroin.
Luxton, of Birch Avenue, Upton, was jailed for 16 years.
Keith Baker
Keith Baker delivered a "savage beating" to another man in a brutal street fight over an alleged love triangle.
The dad-of-one knocked down bloodied Adam Harvey five times in what Mr Harvey claimed was a "straightener".
The shocking brawl in Birkenhead was captured on camera by a laughing man before it was later shared online.
Baker, 32, even kicked his victim in the head while he was lying on the ground, despite pleas for him to stop the violence.
His lawyer said Mr Harvey went looking for Baker on November 6 last year, because he wrongly thought Baker had a relationship with his girlfriend.
A judge accepted Mr Harvey was the instigator, but said the "gratuitous" violence was unacceptable, "whatever the provocation".
Baker, 32, of Highfield Road, Rock Ferry, who has 24 previous convictions for 46 offences, admitted affray.
He was jailed for 10 months.
Jason Campbell
Jason Campbell drove to a pet shop in Wallasey and used a fake name to buy hamsters and a guinea pig one at a time on separate dates.
The 32-year-old then went to his car and subjected each animal to horrific torture before killing them and throwing the bodies in a bin.
Campbell, who appeared at Sefton Magistrates' Court this morning, confessed the crimes to a mental health worker, prompting an RSPCA investigation.
Campbell, of The Mount, Heswall, admitted three counts of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal on December 25, 2020, January 16 and January 27 this year.
Campbell was jailed for eight weeks and banned from keeping animals for 10 years.
Merseyside Police was unable to provide the Liverpool ECHO with a picture of Campbell as he attended an interview voluntarily and as a result a mugshot was not taken.
Kelvin Davies
Kelvin Davies, of Irvings Crescent in Saltney killed his friend Kieran Lloyd and caused life changing injuries to the driver of another vehicle after the crash on the A41 in Great Sutton in December 2019.
Witnesses described seeing the 22-year-old rev his engine and dangerously overtake other vehicles shortly before the collision, which occurred at around 9pm on December 19.
