A DRUG kingpin who ran an industrial-scale amphetamine lab and trafficked heroin and cocaine has been convicted following his extradition.

Colin Wright, 38, a senior member of the organised crime group, was arrested in Spain earlier this year.

After officers detained Wright - who used the name of golf legend Jack Nicklaus in online messages they found thousands of pounds worth of designer gear at his home in Torre Pacheco, Murcia.

An image of goods recovered shows shoeboxes with Louboutin heels, Yves Saint Laurent boots, a Gucci bag and a Jimmy Choo purse, as well as a number of designer watches and a large pile of cash.

Wright, from Motherwell, moved abroad in August 2020 and remained in Spain to evade capture when fellow gang members were arrested by National Crime Agency officers in March 2021.
