Spanish man who attempted to smuggle almost 160 kilos of cannabis into the UK via Manchester Airport has been jailed for more than three years.

Fernando Jacobo Mayans Fuster, from Zaragoza in Spain, arrived on 1 May this year, having flown from Los Angeles in the US, via London Heathrow.

He was arrested after Border Force officers located 278 packages in eight separate bags.

Three of the bags had been checked-in in the names of his three children, aged 11 to 15, who were travelling with him.
