£7m cocaine haul hidden in Skims lorry ends with 13½-year jail term

Polish driver Jakub Jan Konkel was jailed for 13 years and six months after £7m worth of cocaine was found hidden inside a rear-door hide in a lorry delivering Skims underwear. The 90 packages of 1kg cocaine were discovered at the Port of Harwich during a concealed loading during a 16‑minute stop not declared in interview. Konkel admitted agreeing to smuggle the drugs for €4,500, with authorities noting such drivers enable organised crime and the seizure disrupts criminal networks.
