Drug mule with £120k of cannabis in bags told security 'I've got weed'

A drug mule who had £120,000 of cannabis in suitcases fessed up to airport security as he touched down from Thailand.

When asked by Border Force officers at Manchester Airport, Jordan Brook replied: 'I'll be honest, I've got weed... no point in lying.'

The 31-year-old arrived from Bangkok early on a Thursday morning, Manchester Evening News reported.

He had been stopped by Border Force officers before leaving the terminal.

The officers discovered Brook had attempted to smuggle in more than £100,000 worth of cannabis.
