News & Star, UK

A lorry driver has been charged with trying to smuggle drugs into the UK after about 420kg of cannabis resin was found at a British port.
The drugs, with a street value of more than £880,000, was discovered by UK Border Agency (UKBA) officers in Plymouth among 20 pallets of foodstuffs.
The seizure was made on Tuesday after the vehicle arrived from Santander, Spain.
During a search of the vehicle, officers discovered hessian-wrapped drugs hidden among the pallets.
Graeme Berry, 42, of Millerstone Rise, Kirkby Thore, Penrith, was arrested.
He was later charged with attempting to smuggle the drugs into the UK and was bailed to appear before Plymouth magistrates on September 17.
