A wanted drug dealer has been found in Poland following a six month world-wide manhunt
Detectives launched a major appeal to trace Wocjiech Kolodziejcyk after he disappeared from Bristol Crown Court last November.
The 32-year-old went on the run before hearing the verdict for his drugs and money laundering offences. In his absence the judge sentenced him to 13 years in jail.

Kolodziejcyk was found guilty of conspiracy to supply cocaine, possession with intent to supply cocaine and money laundering last November.
A total of £86,000, 24kg adulterant, a hydraulic press and £7,000 worth of cocaine were seized from his former addresses in the West Midlands as part of a South West Regional Organised Crime Unit (SW ROCU) investigation.
A spokesperson for the authority said: "Arrangements are currently being made to bring Kolodziejcyk back to Bristol where he will face an additional sentence at Bristol Crown Court for failure to surrender."
