A HEATHROW airport baggage handler has been charged as part of a conspiracy to bring cocaine into the UK.

Mohammed Ali, 40, of Chalvey, Slough, and Girmit Singh, 55, from Hayes have both been charged with conspiring to import cocaine.

The National Crime Agency said Singh had also been charged with conspiring to import cannabis.

They will appear at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court on Friday, March 24.

The two were arrested in December last year during a series of raids. Eleven others, including another Heathrow baggage handler allegedly involved in the plot, have already been charged and are to appear at Kingston Crown Court next month.
