MOVIE memorabilia belonging to a criminal mastermind behind a cannabis factory in a nuclear bunker is to be sold off.

The items, seized under the Proceeds of Crime Act following the conviction of Martin Fillery, are due to be auctioned off next month.

Fillery, 45, of Pedwell Hill, Ashcott, was jailed for eight years last month for conspiracy to produce cannabis, stealing electricity and money laundering.

Full details of the ill gotten gains paid for by his criminal activity and being auctioned off by Wilson Auctions in Newtownabbey, Belfast, on Thursday, October 26, have not yet been released.

Fillery and two other men were sent down following a police investigation into a huge cannabis factory in a former nuclear bunker in Chilmark, Wiltshire.

The gang produced £6 million worth of drugs over three years and also stole £650,000 worth of electricity from a pylon to power the farm.

A Wiltshire Police spokesman said: "Following Fillery’s conviction, a financial investigation is being carried out to determine the extent of his benefit from the criminal activity, and to identify assets which may represent a lifestyle funded by crime.

"The investigation is currently ongoing and a confiscation hearing is due to be held next year at a date yet to be set."

Plamen Nguyen, of Bartholomews Square, Horfield, Bristol, and Winter, of Maytree Avenue, Bristol, were both jailed for a total of five years each for the same offences.
