Drug dealing ‘rap star’ to lose his pension fund

Drugs baron Steven Campbell, who featured in a YouTube rap video as The Ghost, was jailed last August for more than seven years.

Police said Campbell, now 39, used his car business as a front for his drug dealing and yesterday his benefit from criminal conduct was assessed at around £102,000.

Campbell’s assets are thought to amount to about £15,000 and more than half of that will come from a pension fund.

Judge John Potter made a provisional confiscation order but the final figures will be confirmed later.

Campbell, of Lowerhouses, Huddersfield, is still serving his jail term and was not present at Bradford Crown Court.

He was jailed after he stashed £94,000 worth of drugs at the home of a single mum in 2010.

Police who were keeping him under surveillance raided the house in Harp Inge, Dalton, Huddersfield and recovered the haul.

Detectives also traced Campbell on a rap video in which he wore a mask in the Huddersfield Bang Bang film. Shots in the film included huge piles of cash.
