    There is so much drug smuggling now its just impossible to keep a lid on top of it all. The UK Border Agency is catching quite a few as we have seen from previous press releases, when they do the sentances are heavy but it doesnt seem to act as a deterrent...as they keep right on coming.

    There are so many stories and press releases that I have stopped putting them up unless they are out of the ordinary...here is the latest just to make the point as this thread is already running....



    £5.4 MILLION OF HEROIN SEIZED AT DOVER FERRY PORT - NORTH WALES MAN CHARGED

    For the second time in a few days, significant quantities of Class A drugs have been seized at Dover Ferry Port.

    A man from North Wales is due to appear in court today after officers from the UK Border Agency (UKBA) seized approximately 120 kilos of heroin worth about £5,400,000 and about six kilos of amphetamine sulphate worth about £60,000 at Dover's Eastern Docks.

    Early yesterday morning, Thursday 16 July, a lorry was stopped in the freight controls after it had disembarked a ferry. During a search of the vehicle which was carrying a load of mixed general cargo, UKBA officers discovered a large number of brown-taped packages hidden within the structure of the trailer. The contents of some of the packages tested positive for heroin.

    ends.

    As John H mentioned at the top of page...the rewards are phenomenol..a license to print money if you get away with it. Thats why people keep trying.
