New pictures have been released of one of Scotland\u2019s most high-profile gangland figures following his arrest in Bali. <\/p>\n

Steven Lyons was apprehended at the city\u2019s I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport by immigration officers on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Ngurah Rai Immigration Office said the 45-year-old, whom it only identifies by his initials, had arrived in Bali on a flight from Singapore.<\/p>\n

It comes after police in Scotland and Spain carried out a series of dawn raids on Friday. The operation targeted alleged members of the Lyons crime group.<\/p>\n

The gang is suspected of running a prolific criminal network involved in the transport of large quantities of drugs, including hundreds of kilograms of cocaine, into Scotland.<\/p>\n

Steven Lyons is a high-ranking member of the group, which has been locked in a war with the Daniels gang for more than two decades.<\/p>\n
