Significant seizure at Port of Dover could have caused 'untold damage'
A significant haul of firearms, ammunition, ketamine and MDMA has been discovered at the Port of Dover. 20 firearms, 320 rounds of ammunition and 170kg of ketamine were found in a Lithuanian registered heavy goods vehicle which was stopped by Border Force officers on Monday 23rd June. The National Crime Agency estimates the ketamine has a street value of around £4.5 million while the 4,000 MDMA pills are thought to be worth of £40,000. Investigations are being carried out to assess if the firearms are viable pistols. The driver, a 34-year-old Tajikstan national, was arrested on suspicion of smuggling the illegal items but has since been bailed while enquiries continue. NCA senior investigating officer Darren Herbert said: "With thanks to our Border Force colleagues, an arsenal of deadly firearms, as well as harmful drugs, have been seized before they could reach the criminal supply chain. "Our investigation to trace and detain the individuals responsible for the attempted importation is ongoing. "Alongside our domestic and international partners, we are relentless in our efforts to suppress the supply of firearms to UK-based organised crime groups." Border Force Director for South East Region, Dave Smith said: "This is a significant seizure which demonstrates the vital work Border Force officers do every day to keep lethal weapons and dangerous drugs off our streets. "The firearms and drugs intercepted could have caused untold damage to our communities if they had reached their intended destination. "We will continue to work closely with the NCA to bring those responsible to justice and disrupt criminal networks involved in smuggling."
