Drugs boss who made almost £750,000 and led lavish lifestyle with his girlfriend will have designer clothes sold off

A drugs boss who lived a lavish lifestyle from crime will have his designer clothes sold off to pay back some of his ill-gotten gains. Jonathan Walsh, 34, benefited from crime to the tune of almost three quarters of a million pounds.

He ran a huge drugs trafficking operation, peddling cannabis and amphetamine from Greater Manchester to Nottinghamshire. Walsh's girlfriend Jodie Bowie, 32, also got involved in the drugs plot and similarly enjoyed a luxury lifestyle.

The ‘sophisticated’ drugs plot funded designer clothes, expensive jewellery, high-powered cars and cosmetic surgery appointments. Convicted armed robber Walsh was locked up for 15 years, while Bowie avoided jail.
