two men jailed for largest ever drugs seizure in north lincolnshire: "TWO drug smugglers have been jailed for 38 years after being caught trying to smuggle one of the largest quantities of heroin into the region.
The two Dutchmen tried to bring in the drug with a street value of £5-million through North Killingholme .
Mathieu Poulissen, 51, and Marcel Reitman, 38, were transporting almost 80 kilograms in a lorry load of jam when they disembarked at the Humber Sea Terminal on September 16 last year.
But they were stopped by customs officials after passing through a scanner at the docks.
A search of the vehicle resulted in 20 packages of heroin being recovered from the refrigeration unit, 23 from the cab of the lorry and 23 from various other parts of the vehicle. A further 11 packages, equating to around 10 kilograms of heroin were found taped to Poulissen's body.
After a trial at Grimsby Crown Court, Poulissen, who claimed he had taken part in the operation under duress, was yesterday found guilty and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Reitman, who pleaded guilty, was sentenced to 18 years in prison."
