Narendra Kalidas Suchak, 56, of Mason Row, Hamilton, was stopped by customs officers at Dover docks in Kent on Friday evening after he arrived on a ferry from Calais.
Upon inspection of his Audi car they said they discovered five packages hidden in the rear quarter panels, containing approximately 5kg of the drug.Further inquiries led to £3,500 in cash being recovered from a house in Leicester.HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) spokesman Bob Gaiger said: "This was an excellent detection by UK Border Agency officers which led to the seizure of a large amount of cash under the Proceeds of Crime Act."HMRC together with UKBA play a vital role in the fight to prevent illegal drugs from entering the UK and in protecting our communities from the violence and corruption that always accompany this hideous trade."
