A MAN has appeared in court accused of smuggling £30,000 of herbal cannabis into the country.
Michael Marcel Tak, a 26-year-old Belgian of no fixed UK address, appeared at Chelmsford Magistrates Court after Border Force officers discovered 10kg of herbal cannabis hidden in the spare wheel compartment of a car which arrived on a ferry into Harwich International Port from the Netherlands.
Tak was remanded in custody and is due to appear at Chelmsford Crown Court on December 1.
