Gateshead P&O crewman jailed for smuggling £23m of cocaine into the UK
Two P&O crewmates have been jailed for 16 years for using lax customs checks on a £90m luxury North Sea cruise ship to smuggle £23million of Class A drugs on to the streets of Britain.
Gateshead ferry night steward Edward Tron, 51, and P&O chef Mark Quilliam, 55, were able to use their trusted positions to recruit P&O staff to walk on and off ferries in Hull and Rotterdam with 1kg packages of cocaine - avoiding all customs.
The pair ran an operation bringing in excess of 238kilos of cocaine for Liverpool gangsters over six years.
Tron earned £313,000 boasting of living “a dream life” being “invincible” – paying for a boob job and tummy tuck for his wife and dating a mistress half his age.
