Drug dealer who hid criminal fortune in £1.2m manor disguised as a cowshed has the property seized
The manor featured a disco room, gym, library and cannabis farm hidden behind a floor-to-ceiling painting.
A DRUG dealer who built a £1.2million manor disguised as a cowshed to hide his criminal profits has had it seized.
Alan Yeomans’ six-bedroom house was fitted out in green corrugated iron on one side.
But investigators uncovered the truth and found it housed cannabis plants, Rolexes, designer clothes and £83,250 worth of art and antiques.
Shedley Manor in Yeaveley, Derbys, has now been seized by the Insolvency Service to be sold along with the valuables.
The property, built without planning permission, made headlines when 63-year-old Yeomans appeared in court in 2016.
It also had a disco room, gym, library and cannabis farm hidden behind a floor-to-ceiling painting.
Bankrupt fraudster Yeomans illegally ran three companies to launder millions of pounds from dealing drugs, and was sentenced to 6½ years in prison.
