Birch Services (M62)

Birch Services on the M62 serves as the kidnappers' second ransom drop point, where Kevin Weatherill claims to deliver £50,000 cash. During interrogation, his alibi falters—he shifts between leaving the bag near a bin or in the men’s toilets. Trucks rumble under forecourt lights while hurried travelers provide cover, letting high-stakes handovers blend into late-night motorway bustle. Kidnappers pick it for anonymity and familiarity.
