A Folkestone man who smuggled 350 kg of cocaine from the Channel using a £100k boat was sentenced to 24 years in prison.

A group of people from Kent will go to jail for smuggling £35 million worth of cocaine into the UK via boat.

Following a five-week trial that ended last week, Stephen Lloyd-Jones, Kursat Kizilkaya, and Tiamo Zanaj were convicted guilty of a conspiracy to import the Class A into the country.

On Wednesday, Lloyd-Jones, a Folkestone resident, and Zanaj, an Ilford native, were given prison sentences of 24 and 22 years, respectively.

The 33-year-old Kizilkaya will be sentenced at a later time.
