A 19-year-old German woman has been charged with attempting to smuggle £500,000 worth of cocaine into the UK.
She was arrested after about 11kg of the Class A drug was allegedly found in her VW Golf car at the Port of Ramsgate ferry terminal in Kent.
The haul was discovered by officers from the UK Border Agency (UKBA) in the rear quarter panels of the vehicle.
The teenager, who had arrived on a ferry from Ostend, Belgium, on Saturday, is due in court later.
