An Army veteran jailed for 20 years after being linked to a £3 million drugs bust has been ordered to pay back just £11. Roy Evans, who saw action in several tours including in Afghanistan, acted as a ‘lieutenant’ to a Dubai based member of an organised crime gang.

Police also discovered two fearsome guns at Evans' home in Stockport, weapons his alleged accomplice described as 'bad boy artillery'.

The gang was foiled by Border Force officers after trying to import 50 blocks of heroin, seven blocks of cocaine and a block of cannabis with a street value of £3.4 million into the UK.

Now a Proceeds of Crime hearing, aimed at clawing back some of his ill-gotten gains, has been held at Manchester Crown Court.
