Glenn Tamplin: Hertfordshire Police launches wanted appeal

Glenn Tamplin made his fortunes after setting up his own steel business

The ex-millionaire owner of a non-league football club is being sought by police for failing to turn up in court.

Glenn Tamplin, 57, who once owned Essex side Billericay Town, is wanted by Hertfordshire Police.

Two arrest warrants have been issued by St Albans Magistrates' Court after he failed to show up for hearings.

His court appearances related to allegations of cocaine possession and breaching a community order, the force said.

A police spokeswoman said Tamplin, whose last known addresses were in Watford and Essex, was alleged to have been in possession of the Class A drug on 9 May.

The alleged community order breach took place between 19 October and 4 November last year, she added.

Tamplin oversaw the signings of former Premier League stars Jermaine Pennant, Paul Konchesky and Jamie O'Hara during his time at the helm of Billericay Town.

He stepped away from the club in 2019 and took over fellow non-league side Romford, before leaving football altogether 16 months later.
