A British grandmother is facing a lengthy prison stay, after being caught smuggling £1million ($A2.6 million) of cocaine into the country in her mobility car.
77-year-old Ambrozine Heron, and her 49-year-old daughter Paulette Chambers, had made 14 unnoticed trips to Holland since October 2007, where they would pick up their shipment.
The pair had played on Heron’s ageing condition to fool customs.
But in March, on their way through Dover ferry port in southeast Britain, they were stopped - officers discovered 40 food tins hidden in the mobility car, filled with pure cocaine.
When questioned by police, Heron denied drug smuggling.
"I don't know anything about that,” Daily Mail reported Heron as saying.
"I just went with my daughter. I didn't ask any questions because I'm not a nosy person. I don't smoke or drink. What am I doing with drugs?"
Heron now faces a lengthy prison sentence after being found guilty of the importation of Class A drugs.
Her daughter has already admitted to her role in the smuggling operation.
Both women will be sentenced on October 6.
