The successful operation by border force officers at Tilbury Docks in January 2020 led to the seizure of 1.5 tonnes of cannabis hidden in gari powder.
Following a three-week trial at Southwark Crown Court, Daniel Yeboah and his accomplices were deemed guilty, highlighting the collaborative efforts of local and international law enforcement.
The drugs' street value was estimated at approximately £4.3 million, underscoring the major implications of drug trafficking for public safety and law enforcement.
The operation revealed a complex smuggling scheme involving multiple individuals, who attempted to evade authorities by using fake signatures and monitoring the container's delivery.
