Customs officials at Gatwick swooped on a man trying to smuggle almost a kilo of cocaine into Britain - hidden in his false leg.

The wooden and glassfibre limb of one-legged Yenline Neil, 58, of Spanish Town, Jamaica, was opened up and more than £65,000 worth of the drug was discovered.

Neil, travelling from Jamaica, was jailed for ten years at Croydon Crown Court yesterday.
