CaribWorldNews, LONDON, England, Fri. Oct. 3, 2008: A 77-year old disabled Jamaican grandmother could face a long prison term in Britain for allegedly attempting to smuggle 1 million pounds worth of cocaine from Holland.
Ambrozine Heron and her daughter, Paulette Chambers, 49, were caught as they tried to drive through Dover Ferry Port in March.
The drugs were discovered in 40 tins of palm oil by sniffer dogs as Heron and Chambers drove their Nissan Pathfinder on to the ferry.
Customs officers became suspicious following 14 trips to Holland in six months. Chambers has already admitted her role in the smuggling operations.
