Cocaine worth around £2.6m has been seized by Border Force officers at Grangemouth Docks.

The officers discovered 41kg of the Class A drug as they searched a container that had arrived from Antwerp, Belgium.

The drugs were found hidden in the container's refrigeration unit during the search, which took place on Wednesday.

Murdo MacMillan, head of Border Force Scotland, said: "This was an extremely intricate concealment, with the drugs hidden within the housings of the container’s evaporator fan.

"Smugglers will always be developing new and more elaborate methods to try to get their illegal products into the UK and it is the job of Border Force to stay one step ahead.

"Detections such as this are a real testament to Border Force officers’ expertise. By making this seizure, Border Force officers have put a dent in the profits of the criminals involved."
