£100,000 drugs found in table

NEARLY £100,000 of cannabis imported from South Africa has been discovered hidden in a table at a flat on a Holloway estate.
A late-night police raid found the 90kg haul – individually wrapped in 90 packets – stashed under the false base of a table in a crate at the car park of an estate off Chambers Road earlier this month.
Detective Inspector Mark Gower, of Islington police, said: “It’s the largest haul I’m aware of since I’ve been in Islington.
“This is a significant amount of drugs destined to cause great damage to the community. This seizure will have a considerable impact on the criminal network concerned. This was an expertly executed operation by borough officers.”
Three men have app­eared at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court charg­ed with off­ences concerning the importation and possession of 90kg of cannabis.
