A cocaine kingpin and farmer’s wife has been ordered to pay back £26,000 despite having been on the run for almost a year.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Lynne Leyson fled and was sentenced to nine years in jail in her absence.
A mugshot of the 52-year-old has now been issued to all police forces along with a fake name she may be going by – she is also known as Annelyn Caldicot.

They used guns, knives and dobermans to threaten villagers suspicious of goings on at remote Pibwr Farm, in Carmarthen.

Leyson’s husband Stephen, 55, and his son Samson, 22, were jailed for a total 17 years at Swansea Crown Court last July after police raided the farm.
They were found guilty of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and conspiracy to supply Class B drugs … Lynne Leyson was found guilty by a jury of conspiracy to supply cocaine, conspiracy to supply cannabis, and possessing criminal property.
