Polish driver jailed after cops find £7 million worth of cocaine hidden in delivery of Kim Kardashian firm

A Polish lorry driver has been sentenced to 13 and a half years in prison after border officers discovered 90kg of cocaine hidden inside a legitimate delivery of Kim Kardashian's Skims clothing brand at a UK port.

According to the BBC, Jakub Konkel was stopped at Harwich International Port in Essex on 4 September while driving a truck loaded with 28 pallets of underwear and clothing. Officers grew suspicious of how he was handling the vehicle and ordered an X-ray scan. The scan revealed that the rear trailer doors had been specially adapted to conceal 90 individually wrapped packages of cocaine worth £7.2 million.
