21.01.11
A Dublin man who tried to smuggle £18,000 worth of cannabis through Belfast International Airport has been jailed for six months. Kenneth Farrell, 22, of Bluebell Road, was sentenced after officers from the UK Border Agency caught him with 1.8 kgs of the drug when he arrived on a flight from Amsterdam in November.
At Antrim's Crown Court, Mr Farrell admitted to importing the illegal substance and was sentenced to six months imprisonment. In response to a request from the defence barrister for a suspended sentence His Honour Judge Smyth Q.C. told Farrell: ‘You have passed the threshold and it I think it is important that I back up the checks the UK Border Agency do.’
