Two men have been sentenced to prison for attempting to smuggle a large amount of cocaine into the UK. The drugs were discovered in a hire van near a hotel in East Yorkshire.
Two men, Mark Moran, 23, and Daniel Livingstone, 25, were arrested in May after 524kg of cocaine, worth £42 million, was found in a hire van outside a hotel in Lelley, East Yorkshire. Moran and Colombian national Didier Tordecilla Reyes, 40, had sailed a rigid hulled inflatable boat from the Hessle slipway to collect the drugs before returning to the beach near Easington caravan park.
Moran was sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment for conspiracy to import cocaine at Hull Crown Court after being convicted by a jury. Livingstone, who had pleaded guilty to the same offence, was sentenced to seven years and nine months' imprisonment. Reyes is to be sentenced at a later date. Livingstone was spotted shining a torch out to sea and talking on his mobile phone as he waited for Moran and Reyes, who were seen unloading a number of bags into the van and ditching the boat on the beach. Earlier in the day Moran had driven a hire van and the boat from Norwich to Grimsby where he met Livingstone and Reyes. They all drove on to Hessle and Livingstone filled two large jerry cans with fuel
