A man has been jailed after police officers intercepted the handover of a £3.6 million haul of cocaine in Hertfordshire.
Arthur Salmon, 51, was sentenced to 13 years’ imprisonment after being found guilty of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.
It came after Met officers found Salmon transferring cardboard boxes between a van and a car on Mill View Road in Tring on February 24 last year.
A search of the boxes revealed that each contained around 10 one kilogram green blocks of cocaine.
He was arrested and taken into custody.
Salmon later told officers he did not know what was in the boxes. However, he was also found to be in possession of two burner phones.
A search of Salmon’s van revealed it had been modified to allow him to conceal a large quantity of drugs.
