ECSTASY AND ARMS GRABBED IN SWOOP
CUSTOMS investigators have smashed a drugs and arms smuggling ring
after 25 guns, rounds of ammunition and pounds 2million of drugs were
found concealed in a lorry being brought into Britain from Belgium.
Officers stopped a seven-and-a-half tonne lorry as it left a ferry at
Dover in Kent yesterday.
As they searched the curtain-sided trailer of the truck, they found
access plates in the two crane arms being carried as cargo. Inside
they found 13 kilos of Ecstasy tablets, 135 kilos of amphetamines as
well as 25 firearms and 300 rounds of ammunition.
The guns are mainly pistols and revolvers.
Daniel Dooney, 46, from Mexborough, South Yorkshire, was charged and
was due to appear before Dover magistrates today, a spokesman for
Customs Investigation Service said.
