A SCOTS lorry driver has been arrested after authorities seized more than £16 million worth of heroin stashed in boxes of breadsticks at a ferry port in southern Italy.
The 32-year-old was driving an articulated lorry when it was stopped by police on Monday as part of routine cargo checks as it arrived in the port of Bari on the Adriatic sea.
The lorry was searched as it disembarked from a British ship in the port after travelling from Greece.
