The narcotics were being transported in a cargo van, hidden inside air-conditioning equipment. The marijuana had been professionally packaged into 73 parcels, with copper pipes included to mislead X-ray scanning devices.
The driver of the van is a 50-year-old Bulgarian citizen with a prior criminal record of 16 convictions for various offences. He has been remanded in custody under a permanent detention order. Conviction for such an offence carries a prison sentence of between 15 and 20 years.
