A Polish national has been locked up for six years and nine months after Border Force officers caught him trying to smuggle £960,000 worth of cocaine into the UK.
Drugs Discovered at Dover Docks
Krzysztof Darius Jezak was stopped in April 2020 at Dover’s docks. A search of his truck revealed 12 kilos of high-purity cocaine hidden beneath the passenger seat.
Denied Then Confessed
Jezak initially denied any knowledge of the drugs. However, he later admitted to the charges during the investigation.
Fighting Organised Crime and Exploitation
“The trade of class A drugs is almost always linked to some level of exploitation, with those at the top profiting the most. We’re determined to do all we can to disrupt organised crime groups behind it.”
Border Force continues its crackdown on drug smuggling rings operating in and around UK ports.
