Drug mule busted with 30 kg of cannabis at Manchester Airport

[Bday Prang]

one can probably buy cheap brick weed in Thailand for around 2 baht a gram maybe less in such quantities,  It could fetch the equivalent of 250 baht / gram in the UK ( have seen it for sale at £150 / ounce      Not a bad mark up if he had got away with it

That musta been a massive suitcase to hold 30kg of weed.

I guess that is what attracted the attention of customs

30kg he was on the limit of his luggage weight allowance, 1 more gram and his potential profits would have been decimated by the excess baggage charges

Defending Arif, Hugh Barton disclosed that a charity boxing match had spiralled into online disputes, leading to Arif’s coerced involvement in the drug smuggling operation.

Can anybody help me out here?  How on earth does an online dispute about charity boxing  lead to this ?  Its a pretty surreal excuse  is he connected to the LSD case by any chance

The cheap weed was more than likely destined for the stash boxes of vulnerable, white , underage, council estate girls, as part of his gangs grooming operations.   Drugs were often given free  by the pakistani perpareators to help ingratiate themselves with their prospective victims.

              If that failed to do the trick they would up the odds and ply them with "white lightening" cider or "Buckfast" a potentially lethal cocktail including fortified wine and caffeine, prepared by monks and beloved by Scottish people 

              In the event that the more stubborn lasses still refused succumb to temptation they would go all out and offer them free kebab meat and chips and diet coke

Who in their right mind would think smuggling 30kg of cannabis in their suitcase would go unnoticed?!

Seems it went unnoticed in Swampy..

He'll serve 7 months in the nick? The Chinese guy trying to smuggle the heroin into Aus will serve a little bit longer 😁

If it was a Thai, he'd get a 4 year sentence then return to a post in the Thai Cabinet.

I thought cannabis was legal in Thailand? Or did you  mean Singapore?

He would have been arrested for smuggling out out of Thailand but in Singapore he would have been hanged.

Where did he hide the 50Kgs? In his cheeks? Seriously what a likely tale....I'm sure the judge had a good laugh before sending him down for a few weeks.

Little did he know, he would return with a suitcase packed not with souvenirs but with illegal cargo.

Yeah right! That's a new one, never heard that before.

Judge John Potter remarked that Arif’s financial gain from the crime was meagre.

Have you been smoking some of the evidence your honour?

The OP said it was 30kg and in his suitcase.  Are you dyslexic?
