Haul... the cocaine was intercepted on its way to Scotland
A BULGARIAN truck driver has been charged after a near £20million haul of cocaine was discovered in a trailer heading to Scotland.
It is believed the 185kg seizure is the largest Class A drugs seizure in Northern Ireland in recent years.
Border Agency staff at the Port of Belfast made the find on Monday.
The HGV had been booked on a ferry to Cairnryan, Wigtownshire.
Yesterday, the National Crime Agency announced that lorry driver Georgi Markov Panchukov had been charged with drug smuggling.
A spokesman for the agency said four sophisticated concealments were found running the length of the trailer.

Labour inaction lets inflation and shop prices spiral again
YOU MAY have heard that inflation is up. No, this isn't a rerun from last year. It really is up. Again. So much for the “fiscal discipline” and “costed plans” Rachel Reeves bleated on about when she was soliciting votes like a beggar with a tin can.

And it's ordinary people - working families, renters and small businesses - who are paying the price for this Government's stubborn refusal to change course.
