A heroin kingpin who was jailed for 11 years after hiding in Tenerife for two years is on the run again.
Stephen Blundell, 43, vanished when he was due to be sentenced over a £1m drug ring in 2013. He was named as one of Britain’s most wanted fugitives and it is believed he handed himself in to Spanish National Police officers in Tenerife in 2015.
Blundell was jailed in January 2015 and told to serve a nine year and eight month sentence. After being released from prison on Friday, July 10, 2020, police are hunting to find Blundell again after breaching his license conditions.

Merseyside Police said Blundell is described as a white male, around 5ft 9in tall, with dark brown hair and green eyes. Blundell has links to Whiston and Halewood areas of Liverpool and in Dover and Kent.
Blundell headed up a 14-strong gang which channelled kilos of heroin from Merseyside down to the south west. His crime group included a Cornish grandmother caught transporting £50,000 heroin under pasties in her shopping bag.
Detectives established that heroin was being transported from Liverpool to addresses in Devon before being distributed. Devon and Cornwall Police said Blundell enjoyed the high-life, wearing designer clothes and driving luxury cars, including a Porsche Boxer, Audis, BMWs and Volkswagen 4x4s.
Anyone who has seen Blundell, or has information on his whereabouts, is asked to contact @MerPolCC, 101 quoting ref. 22000147993 or Crimestoppers anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
