UK: £4.3m cannabis haul discovered at Heathrow Airport

ITN News

Thursday 27 Sep 2012

Border officials at Heathrow have seized 1.5 tonnes of cannabis, with an estimated street value of £4.3 million.

It's the biggest haul of the drug to be seized at the airport in more than three years.

The cannabis was discovered in three separate air freight containers, containing fresh fruit and vegetables, which had arrived on a flight from Ghana. It will now be incinerated.

Marc Owen, Heathrow Director for Border Force, said:

"This was smuggling on an industrial scale. It is a significant quantity of cannabis, our biggest seizure of this kind in several years at Heathrow.

"The fact we have stopped it reaching the streets of the UK will make a substantial dent in the profits of the criminals responsible.

"The international drug trade is a vile business that Border Force officers play a key part in disrupting."
