Reality TV star caught smuggling £150k of drugs into the UK


Olga Bednarska, 27, was stopped by officials at the airport last month after returning to the UK from Thailand and found to have nearly 40kg of cannabis concealed in her suitcases

Initially claiming to have packed her bags herself, Bednarska later confessed to being given them at the airport after stating she was doing a favour for a friend known as 'Tex' to transport designer clothes and watches. She subsequently pleaded guilty to being concerned in the fraudulent evasion of a prohibition on the importation of a class B drug and was handed a suspended sentence, report the Manchester Evening News. The court was later presented with the contents of the suitcases, which turned out to be not just Bednarska's belongings, but also numerous vacuum-packaged parcels of cannabis weighing 39.4 kilos, with a street value of around £157,600.
