The arrest of Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, a professional footballer, highlights serious legal consequences surrounding drug importation, especially amid a surge in cannabis-related offences.
NCA's investigation revealed a significant amount of cannabis seized so far this year is already over three times more than the whole of 2023.
Jay Emmanuel-Thomas has been remanded in custody after allegedly orchestrating the importation of 60kg of cannabis valued at around £600,000.
David Phillips of NCA emphasized the commitment of the agency to tackling drug smuggling and collaborating with partners like Border Force in these investigations.
