Further arrests in cannabis resin importation probe linked to Chanel the parrot owner

Two men were arrested in connection with the suspected importation of cannabis resin linked to the owner of Chanel the parrot.

Sandra Hannah became a social media hit in 2020 after she recorded herself crying and repeatedly calling for her African Grey parrot Chanel. But in April this year, the ECHO revealed the 43-year-old, of Cumberland Gate, Netherton, was charged along with Ian Hannah, 55, with the importation of cannabis and possession of criminal property.

The charges came after a joint operation between Merseyside Police and the National Crime Agency. During a two-day operation officers found 237.6kg of cannabis resin imported from Spain.
