A gang imported over 1 million euros worth of cocaine from Colombia, disguised within lacquer on broomsticks. The drug handlers were arrested while unloading the shipment at an industrial estate in Dartford. Six members of the gang received a total of 135 years in prison for their roles in this conspiracy, which involved a clever concealment method. Despite appealing their sentences, three gang members, Pacheco Miranda, Ermal Shtrezi, and Frank Asante, were unsuccessful in having their convictions overturned. The brooms appeared normal to the naked eye, aiding them in their illicit activities.
