Dramatic moment gun-toting drugs cops ambush crime boss seconds after he’d picked up £4m of cocaine from light plane

This is the moment that armed officers entered a drug smuggler just a few seconds after receiving cocaine worth £ 4 million from a private plane at a distant airport of England.

Richard David Farmer, 39, was caught by red -handed on the edge of the runway in Deenethorpe Airport in Northamponshire, where a light aircraft came from Belgium.

A black -wheeled suitcase packaged with 50 kg cocaine was delivered, but the police were already watching.

As the farmer moved away from the scene, his car was stopped by officers from Northamponshire police.

When they stopped him and called the car, they found 50 tight -wrapped brown high purity cocaine, ready to be distributed throughout the country.

The dramatic release was the result of a national criminal agency investigation into an organized crime plan to fly under radar drugs.

The relevant aircraft later flew to Ireland, where three people from Sweden and Lithuania were arrested by Garda and convicted of drug crimes linked to the same operation.

Both rejected participation, but was sentenced to Northampton Crown Court after an eight -day hearing.

The farmer was sentenced to 12 years in prison, while Harvey took 12 years and six months.

“ Farmer and Harvey were working together under an organized crime group to deal with our streets with little respect for something other than their profits.

‘These convictions will disrupt the upstairs organized crime group behind this smuggling and continue to work to stop those who try to bring drugs to the country from abroad.

‘Thanks to our police partners in Northamponshire, Ireland and Sweden, we have received a large amount of dangerous drugs from the circulation.’
