'Most wanted' crime boss turned nursing home into amphetamines lab

A 'most wanted' fugitive caught after seven years on the run used an empty nursing home as a factory for an £11million drugs operation, a court heard.

Former boxing coach Mark Quinn fled the UK after the high-level amphetamines trafficking ring was brought down in 2014, by a series of raids carried out in Scotland and Merseyside. In 2019 his mugshot was driven around Spain's Costa del Sol on the side of a van as part of a major National Crime Agency (NCA) campaign to catch suspects thought to be abroad.

He was not arrested until October last year when a joint operation by the NCA, Police Scotland and Dutch police tracked him to Maastricht in Holland.
