Man imported 1kg of cannabis into UK but addressed it to grandmother's Newcastle home

A man was caught importing 1kg of cannabis into the UK after addressing it to his grandmother's home.

Jack Brown was arrested after customs officials at Stansted Airport found a package bound for Newcastle containing two bundles of cannabis. It was soon found that the 21-year-old had imported the drugs from the USA in a package that was labelled as kitchen utensils on August 11 last year.

Months later, on March 4 this year, Brown was stopped at Newcastle Airport in possession of five buds of cannabis and a kitchen knife. He was once again arrested.
