UK: Drug smuggler jailed for two years
News Shopper
Thursday 30 Nov 2006 A 38-YEAR-OLD who admitted smuggling drugs into the country has been jailed for two years. Andrew Inniss, of Franklin Road, Penge, hoped to earn £3,000 by bringing more than 14 kilos of cannabis into the UK from the Carribean. Inniss was caught by customs officers at Gatwick Airport on August 29. He pleaded guilty to unlawful importation of the drug, which had a street value of £37,488, at Croydon Crown Court on November 24. Prosecuting, Neil King said Inniss, who has previous convictions for dishonesty and one for drug possession, had got off a flight from Jamaica when he was stopped. He said: "A block wrapped in a garment was discovered in his case, and his comment was: What's that? I have been set up'. "But he later said he would help customs as much as he could, and he told them what arrangements had been made for collecting the cannabis." Irene Ray-Crosby, mitigating, said Inniss was to have been paid £3,000 for acting as a courier. Inniss intended to spend the cash on his family and his house. http://www.newsshopper.co.uk/ -- Please sign these petitions: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/search?q=Cannabis+ WebBooks Amazing Amazon Store: http://astore.amazon.co.uk/webbooks05
