Moment drug 'kingpin' who ran secret £1m amphetamine lab arrested

This was the moment a drug "kingpin" who ran a £1m operation was arrested.

Terence Earle, from St Helens, was behind an organised crime group which operated a secret amphetamine lab and trafficked lorry loads of heroin and cocaine between Merseyside and Scotland.
