For the second time in a few days, significant quantities of Class A drugs have been seized at Dover Ferry Port.
A man from North Wales is due to appear in court today after officers from the UK Border Agency seized approximately 120 kilos of heroin worth about £5.4 million and about six kilos of amphetamine sulphate worth about £60,000 at Dover's Eastern Docks.
The drugs were found hidden in a lorry which was stopped at the port early on Thursday.
David Lewis, 47, of 54 Nant Mawr Crecent, Buckley, North Wales, was charged with attempting to smuggle drugs into the UK and is due to appear in court at Folkestone.
