A “highly organised” crime gang with ties throughout Europe were caught shipping £2million of cannabis stashed in pallets of broccoli, kale and lettuce.

The crooks set up a business under false names, hired warehouse units in Malaga and the UK and even went to the effort of printing t-shirts with the logo of the fake company – LB Wholesale.

The group also organised a “dummy run”, sending an innocent shipment of broccoli, aubergine and lettuce around a month before they tried to import drugs into Seaforth docks, reports the Liverpool Echo.
