Drug dealer's 'boy's toys' to be auctioned - BBC News
A life-sized Willy Wonka, a Terminator, and a gremlin - all previously owned by a drug dealer in England - are among the movie memorabilia being auctioned off in County Antrim on Thursday.
Thousands of pounds worth of silver screen collectables were seized by police in Wiltshire.
It followed a raid on a nuclear bunker which housed a giant cannabis farm.
Martin Fillery, from Bridgwater, was jailed for eight years in August for conspiracy to produce class-B drugs.
He had turned a nuclear bunker in Wiltshire into a drugs factory capable of producing £2m worth of cannabis a year, police said.
The 46-year-old was also a film fan and a keen collector of "boy's toys", including a Star Wars stormtrooper, Batman's speedboat, and the car driven by Biff in the film Back to the Future.
But when Fillery pleaded guilty to money laundering, his assets became subject to the proceeds of crime legislation.
That means they were seized and are currently housed at a Wilsons Auctions in Mallusk. The firm holds government auctions every month.
