A TOBACCO smuggler who went on the run after heading up a multi-million pound duty evasion scheme has had his prison sentence extended following his capture by police.
Douglas Allison, of Stranraer, absconded to Dubai after he was convicted of plotting to bring 13 million cigarettes into the UK.
He was sentenced to six and a half years in prison earlier this week in his absence, but was arrested as he stepped off a plane in the UK on Thursday night.
