Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, a 33-year-old former professional soccer player, has been arrested and detained by police in connection with a significant cannabis seizure. According to reports, the National Crime Agency (NCA) seized 60kg of class B drugs, valued at £600,000, from suitcases at Stansted airport. Emmanuel-Thomas, who has played for clubs including Arsenal, Aberdeen, and Livingston, was arrested by NCA officers and appeared in court in Carlisle, where his bail was denied.
The NCA continues to work with partners like Border Force to target those involved in drug smuggling – that includes both the couriers and the organizers.
We would appeal to anyone who is approached to engage in any kind of smuggling to think very carefully about the likely consequences of their actions, and the potentially life-changing risks they will be taking.
