A British couple have been charged with smuggling £1 million of cannabis into the UK from Thailand.

Sian Warren, 34, and Daniel McDonald, 36, were arrested by National Crime Agency officers at Heathrow Airport last month after allegedly being found with more than 51kg of the drug in their suitcases.

The pair were charged with importing class B drugs and appeared at Uxbridge magistrates' court on May 29.

They have since been bailed and are due to attend a plea hearing at Isleworth Crown Court on June 26.

Sian reportedly works as an administrator for a house building business where Daniel's father also works.
