Lorry driver Sergei Bacaianov hid £620k of cannabis under chicken

A lorry driver who tried to smuggle £620,000 worth of cannabis from Holland to Northern Ireland has been jailed.

Sergei Bacaianov, 42, of no fixed abode, was travelling by ferry from the Netherlands to Killingholme on 4 May 2023, carrying a load of fresh chicken in his trailer.

National Crime Agency (NCA) Belfast branch commander David Cunningham said Bacaianov was “not only aware of the illegal load he was smuggling, but involved in loading the drugs into a sophisticated hide beneath the floor of his trailer”.

He was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison at Grimsby Crown Court earlier, having previously pleaded guilty to a charge of drugs importation on 25 September.
