Indian nationals gang arrested in UK over drug smuggling business

[STRANGER BIRD]

LONDON – An Indian national gang at Heathrow Airport have been convicted of a plot to smuggle cocaine that included collecting a bag containing 3 kg of high-purity cocaine that arrived on a flight from Brazil.

Dev Anand, 24, and Vaughn Henry, 46, were part of the plot that was busted by officers of Britain’s National Crime Agency (NCA) in February this year. After their conviction in the Birmingham crown court, they will be sentenced on November 3.

NCA said Henry was sent pictures of the bag by London-based drug trafficker Grattan Samuels, 23, who was in contact with other criminals and organised the importation. Anand then picked up the bag from the flight and gave it to Henry to store in his staff locker until his shift finished.

That evening Henry handed the bag to taxi driver Adnan Ahmed Malik, 24, who was waiting outside the airport. Malik’s job was to transport the drugs to Birmingham, but before he could set off, NCA officers moved in and arrested him and Henry.

Here's a funny one the ultimate partnership between Pakistani and Indian origin folks.

Two security guards have been jailed for their part in a £7m staged robbery at a Heathrow Airport depot.

Loomis employees Mohammad Siddique, 32, and Ranjeev Singh, 40, claimed they had been robbed to cover their tracks after they stole 26 bags of cash on 14 March.

Siddique and Singh were each jailed for six-and-a-half years for conspiracy to steal at Kingston Crown Court.

The money has never been recovered....I think these guys are thinking that three years in prison are pittance compared to what they have "earned".

well it is certainly true, isnt it? Can you earn at least a million pounds if you are free. Now they will come out after 3 years and enjoy rest of their lives if they are smart. You put 4 or 3 years of hard work in getting a degree after that break your back for 10 years. I bet chances of making million pounds is very less.

It is as good as they have already retired. Stealing from govt I think is some what .......ok though morally a grey area, modern day robin hood would agree.
Lets say it is a loan that will be repaid after 100 years with no documentation.
