September 16 - Smugglers caught with £100million of cocaine

Good Afternoon,

Sorry for the delay. I’ve spent all day trying to log in to my newsletter account.

I don’t know why it let me in at almost 4 p.m., but better late than never, I guess. 🤨

Smugglers caught with £100million of cocaine

A homeless man and three others have been charged after a fishing boat carrying one tonne of cocaine worth an estimated £100,000,000 was intercepted off the coast of Britain.

The National Crime Agency (NCA) arrested the suspects after seizing the huge haul when a boat was stopped at sea off the coast of Newquay, Cornwall.

Border Force officers intercepted the vessel on Friday afternoon before uncovering the mammoth drugs stash.

Michael Kelly, 45, of Portway, Manchester, Jon Paul Williams, 46, of St Thomas, Swansea, Patrick Godfrey, 30, of Port Tennant, Swansea, and Jake Marchant, 26, of no fixed address, were all charged with importation of a controlled Class A drug.

All four men have been remanded in custody to appear at Bodmin Magistrates' Court on Monday.

📢 Dad Joke

After MIU told me on Friday that I have Gout, I thought it would be a good week to tell Doctor jokes.

And yes, the pain is as bad as when someone hits you in the ankle with a 9-iron golf club.

Why did the doctor carry a red pen?
In case they needed to draw blood.

For some reason, people never take photos of these steps. Great angle of towan beach.
