£1m worth of cannabis from California destined for Nottingham intercepted at East Midlands Airport

A huge haul of cannabis with a potential street value of up to £1 million that was bound for Nottingham was intercepted by Border Force Officers at East Midlands Airport.

A man has been jailed after border guards intercepted a parcel containing bags of cannabis delivered from an address in Los Angeles, California. It was intercepted on November 12, 2022 before it could arrive at an address in Hucknall Road, Sherwood.

The bag, the contents of which were described as ‘machinery for dry cleaning’, contained 260 bags of cannabis and had a total weight of 153 kilograms. Following inquiries Nottinghamshire Police officers executed a warrant in Hucknall Road four days later on November 16.
