Brothers jailed for attempting to smuggle alcohol

Alan and Jason Jones of Llansawel, Llandeilo, were stopped within minutes of each other as they arrived at the port from Calais in July last year. Both claimed to be carrying consignments of Coca Cola, but Border Force officers opened the trailers to reveal pallets of vodka and mixed spirits.
