A 15-year-old girl has been arrested in connection with the importation of heroin from Pakistan in a pillowcase.

The teenager was arrested after 1.8kg of the drug was discovered in the pillowcase which had been sent instead of an envelope.

It was intercepted at Coventry International Hub - a parcel distribution depot close to Coventry airport - and was addressed to a house in Croydon.

Officers from the Metropolitan Police Service's Middle Market Drug's partnership arrested the 15-year-old and a 53-year-old woman on April 21.

Two men, aged 34 and 42, were arrested on April 22.

The teenager, woman, and 42-year-old man were released on bail to return on a date in June.

The 34-year-old man was released and no further action will be taken against him.
