Two men from Liverpool have each been jailed for 11 years for importing cocaine into Jersey.
Craig Yeowart (38) (below left) and Darren Maidment (35) (below right), travelled to the island by ferry from Portsmouth last August.
Customs officers carried out a routine inspection and found the Class A drug hidden in their UK-registered car.
The authorities say the discovery had an estimated worth of £150,000 to £200,000.
Jersey's Royal Court sentenced the pair to a total of 22 years in prison.
“The discovery of such a sophisticated importation attempt has undoubtedly disrupted a syndicate who were targeting Jersey, to market Class A drugs. The sentences handed down by the Courts today reflect the serious nature of this crime.” - Paul Le Monnier, Senior Manager, Borders, for JCIS
