Two ex-Royal Marines imported cocaine in Lego boxes with one given to child in error

TWO ex-Royal Marines imported cocaine hidden in Lego boxes — with one gifted to a child in error.

Jack Jones and Isaac Rasmussen, both 28, had at least 18kg of the class A drug, worth £1.8million.

Associate Paul Jones, 43, held the packages in Whiston, Merseyside.

But one was taken in by a neighbour. Unable to return it, they gave it to a friend’s child weeks later.

A court heard the solid block of cocaine inside had “exposed the child to a risk of serious harm”.

All three men admitted import and supply raps at Liverpool crown court.

Jack Jones got 16½ years’ jail, Rasmussen ten years and Paul Jones 7½.
