English woman arrested with 95lb of cocaine protests innocence

Suspect claims she was forced to transport drugs by Colombian drug cartel

Woman arrested at Heathrow Airport with 95lb of cocaine hidden in her luggage

A 44-year-old English woman has been arrested at Heathrow Airport after being caught with 95lb of cocaine hidden in her luggage. The woman, who has not been named, was arrested after customs officers discovered the drugs in her suitcase during a routine check. The cocaine has an estimated street value of £12 million.

The woman was traveling on a flight from Bogota, Colombia, to London Heathrow Airport when she was arrested. Customs officers became suspicious of her after she behaved nervously during a routine check. The woman was taken to a private room where her luggage was searched. The drugs were found hidden in the lining of her suitcase.

The woman has denied the charges and claims she was forced to transport the drugs by a Colombian drug cartel. She said she was threatened with violence if she did not cooperate. The woman is due to appear in court later this week.

The arrest is a major blow to the drug trade in the UK. The cocaine seized by customs officers is one of the largest hauls of drugs ever made at Heathrow Airport.
