A drugs gang who tried to smuggle £42million of cocaine into the UK using an inflatable boat have been jailed.
Daniel Livingstone, 25, admitted to ‘conspiring with others to import a controlled drug’ at a hearing at Hull Crown Court.
He was arrested on May 4 this year with 524kg of cocaine in his van outside a hotel in Lelley, East Yorks., after a covert investigation by the National Crime Agency (NCA).
He had stayed the night in the hotel with drug smugglers Mark Moran, 23, and 40-year-old Colombian national Didier Tordecilla Reyes.
Moran and Reyes had sailed a RHIB (rigid hulled inflatable boat) from a slipway in Hessle, East Yorks.
