A DRUG dealer has been ordered to hand over £150,000 he made from his criminal lifestyle - or face another two years and four months in jail.

Simon Day, 37, of Walmesley Street, Rishton, was jailed for eight years in October 2005 for being concerned in the supply of drugs for his part in a drug deal said to be worth £100,000.

He was arrested following a raid on a house in June 2004 in which 20,000 ecstasy tablets were seized, along with a second man, David Stuart, from the Blackpool area.

Stuart is still at large and believed to be in Spain, and is one of Lancashire Constabulary's Serious and Organ-ised Crime Unit's "most wanted".

But Day has now been ordered at a court confiscation hearing in Preston to pay back £150,739 after the court ruled he had benefited from his criminal lifestyle to the tune of £309,686. Day now has until February 12 to pay.

A spokesman for Lancashire police said: "Day has two calendar months to satisfy the order or face a further two years and four months in custody in default."

Day and Stuart were arrested as part of Operation Agog, by the Serious and Organised Crime Unit, which was looking into the supply of Class A drugs in the East Lancashire area during June and July 2004.

Day pleaded guilty to the supply of drugs in October 2005, and was sentenced to seven years in prison plus an extra 12 months for an earlier sentence of conspiracy to supply, for which he had previously been released early.

He later tried to appeal against the length of the sentence, but this was dismissed. But before the ecstasy trial, Stuart was granted bail and failed to turn up to court on July 6, 2005.

The Serious and Organised Crime Unit have now posted his picture on a website which shows the "most wanted" criminals from Lancashire who have not been brought to justice.

On the site it says: "Enquiries reveal that Stuart may be in the Malaga area of Spain working as a Funeral director, however, he still has strong connections in the East Lancashire area."
