Seven held in £5m drugs seizure

Seven people have been arrested, and up to £5m worth of drugs seized, at an industrial site in Dover.

Six men and a woman are being questioned after the substances were discovered in a lorry.

The early morning operation on Friday involved Kent Police, Merseyside Police, the National Crime Squad and Customs Officers.

The drugs were recovered from a heavy goods vehicle, which is understood to have disembarked from a ferry travelling from France.
