Caravan park fugitive set his dog on tortoise then took suitcase of drugs on plane
A fugitive with a lengthy criminal record was captured at a North Wales caravan park after nine months on the run following an escape from a police car. He previously filmed his dog attacking his girlfriend’s tortoise and later attempted to smuggle £150,000 worth of cannabis into the UK from Barcelona, claiming he had been set up. After admitting escaping lawful custody and possession of controlled substances, he was sentenced via video link to nine months in prison, with the judge citing his criminal history and the disruption caused during his escape.
