The National Crime Agency (NCA) is on the hunt for a money launderer with ties to class A drug production in Bushey.

Jamaican international Lenn Mayhew-Lewis, 68, from Surrey, played a leading role laundering money for criminals and was arrested in July 2020.

Mayhew-Lewis moved cash across a network of bank accounts, with a fee taken in the process, in order to disguise and clean drug dealers’ dirty money. On some occasions, Mayhew-Lewis used companies registered overseas and operated them under the guise of investment platforms.

Ian Myles-Harris utilised Mayhew-Lewis’ services. He was convicted in 2020 after his car was stopped by police and evidence of class A drug production was found at his house in Bushey.

Myles-Harris was part of a wider organised crime group who were collectively sentenced to more than 156 years in prison.

After failing to appear at a sentencing hearing in March 2023, Mayhew-Lewis was sentenced in his absence to five years in prison for money laundering. A bench warrant was issued for his arrest.

The NCA issued a plea for assistance in tracking down Mayhew-Lewis in July, with the wanted criminal still missing as BUSHEYnews went to print.

Jason Hulme, from the NCA’s International Corruption Unit, said: “Mayhew-Lewis has been on the run since March this year. If anyone has information that could help us locate him, please contact the NCA or Crimestoppers anonymously.”
