Two P&O Ferries workers have been accused in court of trying to smuggle cocaine into the UK from the Netherlands.

Hull Crown Court was told the men exploited weaker security regulations for crew in the operation.

Edward Tron, 51, and Mark Quilliam, 55, deny two offences of conspiracy to smuggle cocaine.

Tron’s wife Susan, 54, is also on trial. She denies money laundering, the Hull Daily Mail reported.
