A former Gillingham player has been charged over a £600,000 drug seizure. Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, 33, has been charged after two suitcases of cannabis were seized at Stansted Airport.

Emmanuel-Thomas was arrested and taken to Carlisle for questioning on Wednesday. The National Crime Agency stated that a 33-year-old had been detained in an operation supported by officers from Police Scotland over the drug smuggling.

That came after two women were arrested at Stansted on September 2, after Border Force officers detected around 60 kilos of the drug which had arrived on a flight from Bangkok.

Both were charged with drug importation offences and bailed. Emmanuel-Thomas joined the Gills in the summer of 2016 on a season-long loan, but that was cut short when Ady Pennock took over.
