Two brothers who tried to smuggle £26.5m of cocaine into the UK are jailed

Brothers who claimed they were fishing when they were attempting to smuggle £26.5million of cocaine into Britain are jailed. Two brothers who claimed they were simply out fishing off the Somerset coast have been jailed for helping to smuggle more than £26million of cocaine into Britain. Craig Nuttall, 51, and his younger brother Raymond, 47, had arrived at Watchet Marina in July 2025 insisting they were planning a few quiet days on the water in their Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat, the Guzzla. They even handed over fishing details to the marina manager to complete the impression. But investigators later uncovered that the pair had travelled from Preston as part of an organised crime group sent to collect a major cocaine haul during an at-sea drop-off.
