A Canadian drug smuggler who was caught arriving at Edinburgh airport with suitcases containing cannabis worth £300,000 on the streets claimed that all that was in the luggage he had packed was clothes.
Isaiah Williams had arrived on a flight from Toronto via Paris when he collected two suitcases from the baggage carousel and headed for the green 'nothing to declare' channel when he was stopped by border force officers. Advocate depute Scott McKenzie told the High Court in Edinburgh: "He stated he had come to Scotland to visit a friend."
Williams, 28, said the cases were his and he had packed them. They were padlocked and he said he had the combinations but claimed that he could not access them on his phone.
