Two men have been charged with attempting to smuggle drugs worth £750,000 into Sussex.

Alexander Goddard, 29, of Conbar Avenue, Rustington, Littlehampton, and Gregory Thomas Murray, 35, of Lennox Street, Brighton, are both charged with the same offence.

Customs and Excise officers arrested the pair following the seizure of a total of 250kg of suspected cannabis at Splash Point in Seaford on Thursday.

Both men were due to appear at Brighton Magistrates Court today.
