LONDON: A drug smuggling suspect from Erdington has been arrested at a UK airport with cocaine worth £400,000.
The 37-year-old Jamaican man who lives in Birmingham was stopped by Border Force officers at Gatwick Airport after arriving on a flight from Montego Bay. The drugs were found within a suitcase, concealed in packages which were labelled as coconut milk powder, but which tested positive for cocaine.
He has been arrested on suspicion of importing a Class A drug and bailed pending further enquiries. The National Crime Agency is leading the investigation.
