Moment NCA swoop in on pair heading to pick up £4m cocaine haul from plane

This is the moment armed officers swooped on a drug trafficker just seconds after he picked up £4 million worth of cocaine from a private plane at a remote UK airfield. Richard David Farmer was caught red-handed at the edge of the runway at Deenethorpe Airfield in Northamptonshire, where a light aircraft had just landed from Belgium. A black wheeled suitcase packed with 50kg of cocaine was handed over, but police were already watching. As Farmer drove away from the scene, his car was stopped by Northamptonshire officers. When they stopped him and searched the car, inside they found 50 tightly wrapped brown packages of high-purity cocaine, ready to be distributed across the country.
