The kingpin of a multimillion pound skunk cannabis ring which worked out of lockups and homes in Surbiton, Epsom, Sutton and Kingston, has claimed he was merely second in command.
The Liberal Democrats in Kingston will face their first electoral test since entering coalition government after a councillor resigned after 15 months.
Security guards have been hired to patrol the former Surbiton Hospital site after police received reports of anti-social behaviour and thefts taking place.
