Listen to drug smuggler’s voicemail before trying to flee police with cocaine-laden boat
Listen to a voicemail that a drug smuggler left right before trying to flee from police in a boat filled with cocaine.
In audio shared by the Home Office on Wednesday (9 July), a man can be heard saying: “It’s literally zero f****** risk. All we need is a fisherman with a boat.”
The individual was one of three men who then proceeded to try and evade border control officers, speeding away in their class A-laden boat for 28 miles before authorities caught up to them.
Footage shows the Border Force officers jumping out of their boats and chasing the three men across a beach.
An additional four men who helped organise the collection of the drug, which was worth £18.4million, have also been convicted.
