TWO men wanted in connection with drug trafficking in and around the Newport area are among the five most wanted criminals in Britain – and could command a £5,000 bounty.

Caine Morse and Zulfkar Sheblan – known as Ziddy – are among the five most wanted criminals on the run, according to Crimestoppers.

The pair are wanted over allegations of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and money laundering.

It is believed they were both part of a serious organised crime gang in South Wales, conspiring with others within the UK and abroad to supply large quantities of heroin and cocaine in and around the Newport and Cardiff areas.

A bounty of up to £5,000 for each of the men is being offered for information Crimestoppers receives exclusively which leads to the men’s arrest.

Morse is aged 20-25 with dark hair and has links with Cardiff and Dubai, while Sheblan is described as around 5ft 10ins, aged 30-35, with black hair, and has links with Cardiff, London and Dubai.

Mick Duthie, director of operations at the charity Crimestoppers, said: “These wanted individuals have managed to evade justice for too long.

“They are a danger and need to be found.
