Couple Caught Smuggling £55,000 Worth Of Cannabis | Customs | Real Responders

A passenger at Bristol Airport is caught smuggling cigarettes and admits to doing it for more than 10 years, plus a suspicious bag seized at Gatwick with £55,000 of cannabis inside. Plus, the crew of the fast cutter searcher investigates mysterious pot-markers off the Cornish coast.

In Gatwick and Bristol Airports in England customs agents check baggage and travellers to uphold allowances and prevent illicit activity and substances from entering the UK.

That was the worst smuggling attempt I've ever seen. In plain sight!

[wteo]

I've seen people stuff the linings and what not, but have definitely never seen anyone fill an entire suitcase I mean, what do you expect to happen, you just waltz through the customs??

[Totino.The.Pizza-Boy]

I love how whenever they have initial suspicions that someone might have drugs, then they test / swab / search them & it comes back negative, so the voiceover goes "Another disappointing result..." 🤣🤣🤣

[ebrady]

Why would you get angry or disappointed that a passenger doesn't have drugs ... that is literally the opposite of what you should be feeling.

[DoctorX]

I can't believe that someone would just fill a suitcase with drugs and have any hope they'd get out with them

[bibii]

did they really think they would be able to get all that weed into the country so easily? looool

[ScarabChris]

5:29 in the US that is what they call a "suicide load" whether it be in a car or in luggage in a plane or ship. No attempt to hide it other than in a bag or suite case. Now...driving a car between a a couple states the risk is fairly low if your vehicle is legal and you follow all traffic laws to the T. But to pack that much drugs in a suitcase like that and put it in checked baggage on a plane? That is just asking to be caught. Jesus!

The worst crime in the UK is avoiding paying tax. Murder is treated more leniently.

BORDER OFFICER: What do you do?
PASSENGER: I'm in the packaging business
BORDER OFFICER: I can see that!

I can not believe people try to smuggle drugs through the airport. SMH

[FigaroHey]

I'm really puzzled how walking separately from your spouse or girlfriend helps you avoid detection. I would think that a couple going through the airport looks more natural and less suspicious than a single person, especially if you're coming from a country notorious for drugs. I would naturally assume that a smuggler was acting alone, not with a partner, especially not with one that looks like a romantic partner. A couple who might be coming back from Carnival in Rio or a honeymoon in Jamaica looks to me less like smugglers than a single, young male coming into the UK from Rio or Jamaica, for example. I can understand if the logic is, 'We are both carrying drugs, so if we separate and they only catch one of us, then half our drugs got through.' But how does it seem like they will be LESS suspicious just by virtue of seeming to be travelling alone? Young, Rastafarian man with one bag, travelling alone vs young, Rastafarian man travelling with his wife or girlfriend, helping her carry her bags, looking like a loving couple - which one would YOU think more likely to be carrying cannabis? Or the same couple with a baby or a couple of kids. I'd go for the single guy, not the young couple or family. Can anyone explain the logic?

I thought that after exceeding the 200 limit for cigarettes, everything including the 200 were seized? A little favoritism shown to the woman?

[JaceTan-]

13:07 the machine was spot on in helping the officer and the audience to explain, what it does for drugs detection.

[MrSeminole]

defense: did you wear disposable gloves to avoid cross contamination when you analyze the swab?

[fedism]

So eloquent those cell guards are.
Suspect: Can I smoke a f*g
Guard: You cant smoke here im afraid

[lijo]

"I can just see the glean in his eyes" ouch 🤨

[mobile]

Once again, surprised to see them officers not wearing gloves

[denisesander]

I don't get these people. Surely you know you're not supposed to smuggle stuff into a country. They just feel sorry for themselves

[OdinsOdyssey]

Wow, UK so nice. Just seize the cigarettes. In other countries, they fine you heavy!
