A ‘FOR Sale’ sign has been put outside the luxury home of a major Bournemouth drug dealer after he was ordered to repay £792,000.

Craig Blake from Talbot Woods was jailed for 16 years after an operation by the Serious and Organised Crime Agency (SOCA).

He was ordered to repay the money last month after a four-day hearing at Cardiff Crown Court.

His four-bedroom detached house in Huntly Road, which includes three receptions rooms, a gym and a substantial garden, is on the market for £700,000.

The website of Estate Agents Cliftons describes it as: “An exceptional family home situated in the heart of the prestigious location.

“The property enjoys electronic controlled gated access... upstairs boasts four double bedrooms... further noteworthy features include underfloor heating and air conditioning to a number of the rooms.”

Blake had six months to find the money otherwise four years will be added to his sentence.

He was also made subject of a Financial Reporting Order, which will compel him to provide details of his financial affairs for the next ten years He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply Class A drugs, and was jailed along with three other Bournemouth men in 2010.

Jurors at Cardiff Crown Court heard how they had been part of a gang operating in Bournemouth, Kent and South Wales between June 2007 and July 2009.

The trial heard that half a tonne of cocaine was involved, with a wholesale value of £25 million and a street value of £125m.

SOCA said the investigation has led to the conviction of 28 people and confiscation orders totalling £2.4m.

The agency said a group in South Wales bought the drugs from Kent, with “Blake’s crew” in Bournemouth acting as the conduit.
