Border Force officers detected roughly 60kg of the drug in two suitcases, which had arrived via a flight from Bangkok, Thailand.
A man has been arrested in Scotland after £600,000 of cannabis was found in suitcases at a UK airport. The 33-year-old was arrested on suspicion of attempting to import the six-figure sum of cannabis through Stansted on September 2.
He has now been taken to Carlisle for questioning. The NCA say NCA senior investigating officer David Phillips said: “The NCA continues to work with partners like Border Force to target those involved in drug smuggling – that includes both the couriers and the organisers. It comes after the NCA issued a warning to travellers arriving into the UK from Thailand, Canada and the United States that they face jail sentences if caught attempting to bring cannabis into the country, after a huge upsurge in arrests.
