Drugs imported in frozen chicken were found in Yorkshire's biggest ever raid, a court hears.

Three people have pleaded guilty to being part of a drugs ring which smuggled more than £1bn of cocaine into the UK in boxes of frozen chicken.

Five men from Leeds, Dewsbury, Glasgow and Birmingham had previously pleaded guilty to drug supply charges. Police who raided their flat on 10 September last year discovered 141kg of cocaine with an estimated street value of £14.1m in a locked room along with 33kg of crystal methamphetamine worth nearly £5m.

A further 57kg of cocaine worth £5.8m was found stashed in holdalls, plastic bags, cupboards and the bedroom in Budden's flat in The Crescent, Dewsbury, during a raid on 10 November, the court heard.
