Tommy Roye, 39, been jailed after he masterminded a blackmail plot
against the head of a media firm. The husband of a BBC Talent Executive for
Entertainment North demanded cash over a two month period, from Craig
Farley-Jones, 37. Mr. Roye hired two men to have Craig’s car burnt on his
driveway because his business partner owed £30,000 to him and his associates.
He told him upon the argument: “I will f**k you up now, you don’t know who you
are messing with. I’ll f**k you up and put you in that skip over there.”
Mr. Craig received text messages reading: “If you don’t reply within
an hour we will send someone.” Roye was arrested a day after the arson attack
on his people carrier vehicle and found two ornamental Samurai swords and a
machete at his home in Urmston, Greater Manchester. He has been jailed for six
years after being convicted of blackmail, conspiracy to commit arson and
threatening to destroy property. Three accomplices were also jailed for
their part in the plot. Roye’s wife Victoria, was not in court for the hearing.
