POLICE are trying to trace a man wanted in connection with a large-scale cannabis conspiracy in three counties.

Andrew O’Donnell, aged 33, who also uses the surnames Morrison and Lawson, is formerly of Wynford Road, in Frome.

He was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to produce a class B drug in October last year but failed to answer police bail.

It followed police raids a house in Tenbury Wells, at an industrial estate in Forest View Road in Cinderford and a farm in Monmouthsire where hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of cannabis plants were seized.

Subterranean cannabis grows were discovered at the address in Tenbury last July with five substantial containers buried next to woodland, connected to the surface by a brick shaft.

O’Donnell was due to be charged with offences and police are urging anyone who thinks they may know where he is now to call Gloucestershire Police on 101, quoting case 6708/09.

He is also believed to have rented a holiday home abroad last year but it is not known whether he has returned to the UK.
