A woman was arrested at Birmingham Airport on suspicion of trying to smuggle cannabis with a street value of £60,000 into the country, the Birmingham Mail reports. The woman, in her 20s and from Birmingham, was stopped by UK Border Agency officers on Wednesday after arriving on a flight from Jamaica. She was arrested after 21 kilos of cannabis was found in baggage, but was released on bail until April.
A second woman, Shounna Hines, 24, of Caulton Street, Nottingham, has been charged with attempting to smuggle drugs into the UK, after cocaine worth at least £90,000 was found in baggage, and the separate seizure of cannabis. She appeared before Solihull magistrates yesterday and was remanded in custody until next Tuesday.
