Two US nationals who attempted to bring suitcases full of Cannabis into the UK through Heathrow have been jailed.
32 year old construction worker Massa Momolu Talery was stopped at Terminal 3 last month. He initially told border officers he was here for a two-week holiday. But packages containing 20 kilos of herbal Cannabis with an estimated street value of £400,000 were found in his bags. He claimed he did it to pay off debts but admitted the importation of class B drugs, and was given an eight month jail sentence. 26 year old Gerard Jean-Leger from Massachusetts was handed a ten month sentence for the same offence. He was caught on the 19th of January as he attempted to smuggle 27 kilos of cannabis into the UK from LA.
