Police say they have arrested a woman who spent 16 months on the run after being sentenced for drugs offences.
Lynne Leyson, 53, was arrested at Pibwr Farm in Capel Dewi, Carmarthenshire, on Monday.
She had travelled across the UK during her 16 months on the run, before returning to the Dyfed-Powys Police area on Sunday evening, according to the force.
Police efforts to locate Leyson over the last 16 months included a wanted appeal and a Crimestoppers reward.
Leyson was convicted of conspiracy to supply Class A and B drugs and possession of criminal property in May 2023.
After she failed to appear for sentencing at Swansea Crown Court, she was sentenced in her absence on 15 September last year to nine years in prison.
