TWO men who made UK legal history after being convicted of a drugs-related offence even though the substances involved are not illegal have been jailed for eight years.
Anthony Woodford, 23, and David Lewinson, 44, stood trial after Lewinson was found with 330lb of crushed paracetamol and caffeine at Dover docks.
Although the substances are not illegal, investigators suspected they would be used as cutting agents for heroin, giving the Class A drug a street value of more than £5 million.
