A lorry driver from Thornton has been sentenced to 16 years in prison after he was caught smuggling 30 kilos of cocaine under the bed in his cab.




45-year-old Philip Karl Green was stopped at Immingham Dock, near Grimsby, as he arrived on a ferry from Denmark in April last year.

Border Force officers found drugs with a street value of 3 million pounds.

In interviews with National Crime Agency officers Green refused to answer any questions.
