Cocaine was found on a lorry which had arrived from Calais, the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Office said

A man has been jailed for 11 years for attempting to smuggle cocaine through Dover.

The Â鶹ԼÅÄ Office said 96kg of the drug with a potential street value of about £4.3m was found on a lorry that arrived from Calais on 6 September.

Bosnian national Miodrag Ivankovic, 45, of no fixed UK address, pleaded guilty to attempted importation of a Class A drug.

He was sentenced at Canterbury Crown Court.

Mile Pajic, 45, also of no fixed UK address, was found not guilty of the same charge earlier this week after a trial.
