A drug-smuggling mother busted with nearly £200,000 of cocaine stuffed in her 46D bra has been jailed for four years.
Nola Williams, of south London, was found with the 973 grams stash after she arrived at Gatwick Airport on a BA flight from Kingston, Jamaica, with her six-year-old daughter in January last year.
When searched by National Crime Agency officers, the 47-year-old burst into tears, saying: 'Why did I do it? I have ruined my life. I am ashamed
'The total value weight of the drugs was 973 grams at a purity of 71 per cent, with a street value was £184,221.
It was brought into the country concealed in a bra worn by this defendant who travelled with her six-year-old daughter from Jamaica.
She travelled into Gatwick on the 21 January of last year at 9.20am on a morning flight from Jamaica - her young daughter with her.
Seemingly on her own she had to then get the transit shuttle from the north to south terminal, which happened to be quite a trek across the airport.
The cocaine was found hidden in the cups of Williams' bra, the court was told.
She told officers she had been away for two weeks to Jamaica visiting her father who had hurt his hand in an accident cutting a tree,
They asked her what was in the bra and she said she didn't know.
She then went on to say: "What will happen to my baby?" and made various comments like "what have I done? I know drugs are illegal. Why did I do it? I have ruined my life. I am so ashamed."'
