"Only goes to prove crime does pay": your reaction to the £520 seized from a Blackpool drug smuggler who made £1.4 million
Scott Ledrew, 31, of Aysgarth Court, Blackpool, was ordered to pay back just £520 as these are the only assets the authorities can seize from him at present.
Several of his associates received even small fines - including one of just £1 for a man who made over £300,000 smuggling drugs.
