HMRC has issued a statement today on a separate case in which officers arrested two women at Manchester Airport this week seizing about 14 kilos of cocaine in baggage with a street value of approximately £840,000. The women appeared at Manchester Magistrates charged with the illegal importation of Class A drugs this morning and have been remanded in custody
