Fugitive farmer's wife is caught after 16 months

Lynne Leyson, 52, was arrested near her countryside farm in Capel Dewi, Carmarthenshire, where she and her husband had been secretly operating a drug smuggling network.

She was convicted in May 2023 for Conspiracy to Supply Class A and B drugs, and possession of criminal property, but failed to show for her sentencing at Swansea Crown Court.

In her absence, she was jailed for nine years while her husband Stephen Leyson and his son Samson were jailed for a total of 17 years in July after the farm was raided by police.
