Four jailed in connection with 'mind-boggling' Makayabella cocaine seizure

Four people have been jailed for a total of 31 years in connection with an international plot to smuggle cocaine worth a "colossal and "mind-boggling" £164m into the UK.

Dawne Powell (aged 56), James Hill (aged 31), David Webster (aged 44), and Philip McElhone (aged 29), were sentenced at Leeds Crown Court this afternoon after one tonne of the class A drug was seized from a yacht off the Irish coast in September last year.
