The parcel had been destined for an address in Nottingham. Nottinghamshire Police have arrested one man

A parcel containing 7kg of ketamine disguised as instant coffee has been seized by Border Force officers at East Midlands Airport. The drugs, worth around £200,000, were destined for an address on Chippendale Street, in the Lenton area of Nottingham.

The package was delivered from an address in Dusseldorf, Germany, and was described as containing seven bags of coffee. However, on Monday, October 30, border officers examined the parcel and found it actually contained 7kg of ketamine, which is a Class B drug. Following inquiries, Nottinghamshire Police arrested a 27-year-old man on Wednesday, November 1, on suspicion of important Class B drugs into the UK. The suspect was questioned and bailed pending further investigation.PC Daniel Mottishaw, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "The combined efforts of Nottinghamshire Police and Border Force have £200,000 worth of ketamine from plaguing our streets.

“I’d like to thank our colleagues in Border Force for the role they played in intercepting this consignment. Such collaboration shows our collective determination to tackle organised criminal groups head on, and stem the supply of harmful drugs. “We will continue to work to disrupt criminals who prey on the vulnerable and seek to profit from other people’s misery by selling illegal drugs which we know has a hugely detrimental impact on our communities.”
