Three men involved in the attempted smuggling of over half a tonne of cocaine, valued at £42 million, into the UK have been convicted, with two already sentenced to lengthy prison terms. The National Crime Agency (NCA), supported by Humberside Police and Border Force, intercepted the operation in May 2024, disrupting a major drug trafficking network.
Details of the Smuggling Operation
On May 4, NCA officers arrested Daniel Livingstone, 25, outside a hotel in Lelley, East Yorkshire, where he had been staying overnight with two accomplices: Mark Moran, 23, and Didier Tordecilla Reyes, 40, a Colombian national. The trio conspired to smuggle 524 kilograms of cocaine into the UK using a rigid-hulled inflatable boat (RHIB).
