Two men from Wigan in Greater Manchester have been jailed after one of Britain's biggest ever drugs busts. More than one tonne of heroin and ketamine was hidden in bags of rice - with an estimated street value of £300m.
The huge drugs bust followed a covert operation by Greater Manchester Police acting on intelligence.
It ended with the seizure of a shipment worth an ‘immense’ value on the streets, which had been imported into the country via a port in the south.
Craig Parr, who was said to have led the logistics team, was jailed for 16-and-a-half years, while Andrew Tait, who acted as ‘muscle’ and offered organisational support, was locked up for 18 years.
Parr, of Barnham Close, Golborne, pleaded guilty to conspiring to supply class A and B drugs, while Tait, of Tram Street, Platt Bridge, was found guilty of the same offences after a trial.
