Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, 33, Arrested in Scotland Over Stansted Cannabis Smuggling Via Stansted Airport

A man has been arrested by National Crime Agency officers on suspicion of orchestrating the attempted importation of cannabis worth £600,000 through Stansted Airport.

The 33-year-old was detained just after 8:00 a.m. Wednesday in Gourock, Inverclyde, in an operation supported by officers from Police Scotland.

He has now been taken to Carlisle to be questioned.

It follows the arrest of two women aged 28 and 32 at Stansted on 2 September after Border Force officers detected around 60 kilos of the drug in two suitcases which had arrived on a flight from Bangkok.

After being questioned by the NCA, both were charged with drug importation offences. They appeared before Chelmsford Magistrates and were bailed to appear at Chelmsford Crown Court on 1 October.
