Three men including one from Western Avenue in Acton are to appear in court today (31 January 2024) having been charged with importation of cocaine which was discovered in two shipments of bananas seized at Portsmouth International Port from the Dominican Republic on 20 January 2024 and 26 January 2024.
Nathanael Colado-Jiminez, 30 of Western Avenue, Acton along with Jose Manuel Perez De La Cruz, 37 of Thomson House, Beckway and Ronny Sierra Guerrero, 34 of no fixed address will appear at Uxbridge Magistrates Court.
UK Border Force officers searched the shipments and discovered the drugs, with a street value of £10m, hidden within the cardboard packaging. Metropolitan Police specialist crime officers helped to gather further evidence and their investigations led them to an address in Acton where they arrested the three men.
