A FATHER of two has been jailed after admitting being involved in a plot to smuggle a commercial quantity of drugs into Jersey.
Ryan Anderson was caught after Customs officers watched him collect a dummy package they had posted to an address after earlier intercepting a parcel containing the class A drug ecstasy.
An officer said that when they stopped the 21-year-old and found the parcel hidden in the waistband of his underwear, the suspect dropped his head and the colour drained from his face .
Anderson, who has 21 previous convictions, later pleaded guilty to being concerned in the importation of class A drugs and was this week jailed for three years by the Superior Number of the Royal Court.
EVERYTHING about Jenny and Lenny Bowes feels new. In only their fourth year of farming they are considered new entrants, they’ve taken on the tenancy of a new farm, in a new county and are adopting new ways of working. And all of this with three children under the age of seven during national lockdown conditions and lambing time. Originally from Wensleydale, Jenny used to be a northern area manager for an agricultural chemical company and Lenny was a dairy engineer. The couple took over the tenancy at Ghyll Bank in Raisbeck, near Penrith, in June 2020 and despite the many challenges of making the move during the pandemic, consider themselves extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to farm in their own right.
