Cocaine man gets 5 years
A MAN has been jailed for five years for importing cocaine from Jamaica.
Thomas Mullings, 30, of Kennington, denied being part of a three-strong gang who smuggled 227g of crack cocaine into Heathrow Airport.
Mullings had met drug courier Kim Tudor from the airport on September 6 last year and taken her to her west London home where they met Richard Edwards. But officers from Operation Trident and Customs and Excise tailed the group and raided Tudor's home minutes afterwards. The trio had denied the charge but were convicted by a jury at Middlesex Guildhall Crown Court. Mullings, of St Agnes Place, Tudor, 39, of Third Avenue, Acton, and Edwards, 41, of Kempton Road, East Ham, were each sentenced to five years on Friday.
