A gang leader who evaded the police for over two years before he was captured in Dubai has been ordered to pay back over £22,000 of his ill-gotten gains.

33-year-old Cullen was detained on an international arrest warrant in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, on January 3 2020 after evading police over a two-year period by using a false passport.
