Two lorry drivers, a Scot and an Irishman, have been arrested in Italy after £16m worth of heroin concealed between boxes of breadsticks was discovered by police at a ferry port.
The hauliers were stopped by police as they arrived at the Adriatic port of Bari, southern Italy, from Greece.
The drugs were discovered in the back of a lorry bound for Lancashire during a routine check by customs officers and members of the Guardia di Finanza.
