Stephen Gee has been recalled to prison, days after police issued a wanted appeal<\/a>. The 43-year-old, whose family once terrorised an Everton estate, was captured by police while on the run for breaching his licence conditions.<\/p>\n

Merseyside Police confirmed today (Thursday July 31) that he has been located, arrested and will be recalled to prison.<\/p>\n

Gee was on licence after being released from prison following a sentence for robbery. He was jailed back in 2017 after he brutally robbed an OAP<\/a> while high on cocaine and his dead brother\u2019s anti-psychotic medication. Gee pretended to be a Liverpool City Council<\/a> officer to con a 77 year old widower after he caught him kerb-crawling.<\/p>\n

Liverpool Crown Court heard, at the time, he made the pensioner drive home to show him ID, where he demanded the elderly victim hand over a \u00a31,000 \u2018fine\u2019, or \u00a3100 deposit.<\/p>\n

When the OAP said he didn\u2019t have any cash, Gee punched him in the face, before repeatedly kicking and stamping on him. Gee then stole the victim\u2019s car, but Gee had drunk from a can of Coke which he left on the sideboard, revealing his DNA.<\/p>\n

Gee’s defence said he went off the rails following the death of his brother Billy Gee. Stephen Gee admitted robbery and was jailed for six years and eight months, with an extended four years on licence.<\/p>\n

Gee’s brother, Daniel Gee, spent almost a month on the run<\/a> after he absconded from category D open prison Kirklevington Grange in North Yorkshire on May 27, 2024. An investigation was launched by Cleveland Police.<\/p>\n

He was finally apprehended by Merseyside Police officers in the Aspull area of Wigan<\/a> on Tuesday, June 25, last year. He was then charged with being a temporarily released prisoner unlawfully at large and sentenced to four months<\/a> concurrent to his imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) sentence at court on June 26 last year.<\/p>\n

Daniel and his other brother Darren turned the estate where they had grown up, the Grizedale in Everton, into a 24-hour open air drug market. The brothers were among a new generation of young criminals drawn to the drug business<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the start of the millennium, criminals took advantage of the notable mark-up between wholesale drug prices and the price of drugs on the street<\/a>. With that price difference representing pure profit, young men used gaps in a criminal landscape.<\/p>\n

But in a saturated market, guns and knives were used to give crime groups an advantage. The Gees, who both had poor experiences in the education system and left school without qualifications, began dabbling in burglary and other petty crime.<\/p>\n

However, the brothers soon gravitated towards serious crime, controlling their estate and making thousands of pounds a week from dealing class A drugs<\/a>. Ordinary families were forced to look the other way as the Gees and their associates turned the estate into an enclave exempt from law and order.<\/p>\n

Daniel Gee was jailed indefinitely in 2010 for conspiring to buy guns and threatening to kill teenager Jamie Starkey. He was sentenced to four months concurrent to his Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) sentence at court on June 26 this year.<\/p>\n

The IPP sentence – a prison term introduced in 2005 for serious crimes but abolished in 2012 after public pressure – was introduced for offenders considered particularly dangerous. The new sentence will mean Gee’s likelihood of parole from his indeterminate sentence will be set back.<\/p>\n

His brother Darren Gee was handed 18 years behind bars in 2006 for planning the revenge shooting murder of dad-of-five David Regan. Since coming out of prison, Darren has carved out a social media career, amassing a cult following on social media for his sometimes tongue-in-cheek videos warning others not to get involved in gang crime.<\/p>\n

He has also spoken honestly about his own criminal career – and how the childhood abuse he faced from his parents, and the domestic violence he witnesses, propelled him into a life of crime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Stephen Gee is the brother of Darren and Daniel Gee 22:17, 31 Jul 2025Updated 22:18, 31 Jul 2025…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":307621,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,30,188,393,4884,179,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-307620","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-courts","10":"tag-crime","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-liverpool","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114950104024957003","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307620","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=307620"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307620\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/307621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=307620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=307620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=307620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
