Dad had £96k of cannabis in flight suitcase

Michael Platt, 42, has been jailed for two years after being caught out when he arrived at Manchester Airport. Platt, a father-ofthree, had been offered £10,000 as well as a holiday to Phuket in Thailand, if he tried to smuggle cannabis through customs on his way home.

But Border Force spotted him and discovered his suitcase contained almost £100,000 of the class B drug. His barrister said Platt had experienced hard times, losing his job and home.
