This is the moment a brazen drug smuggler calmly walks through an airport carrying 18 kilos of high-strength heroin in his baggage - worth an estimated £900,000.

Mohammed Uzair Rashid, 35, was stopped by Border Force officers for a search. They found packages of heroin inside a suitcase he had checked in and collected on arrival from Pakistan at Birmingham Airport.

The National Crime Agency (NCA) said its forensic experts found that the packages contained heroin with a purity of between 66 and 71 per cent.

Rashid, from Oldham, has now been jailed for nine years. The NCA said he pleaded guilty to class A drug importation offences and was sentenced today - Friday - at Birmingham Crown Court.
