A woman who tried to smuggle £800,000 worth of crack cocaine into the UK stashed in a hollowed-out cheese wheel has been jailed.
US national Jamie Choi, 23, was stopped by Border Force officers at Heathrow on May 25 after arriving on a flight from Brazil.
The California resident was then asked about the 8kg Parmesan cheese wheel she had with her.
Choi claimed a friend had suggested she buy the cheese from Lima, Peru, for them to try, but when officers examined the wheel they found it contained crack cocaine.
Forensic analysis later revealed the drug to be 94 per cent pure - giving it a street value of £800,000.
