Britons arrested with heroin hidden in bread sticks The drivers, aged 32 and 42, were arrested in the Adriatic port of Bari after travelling with their lorry by ferry from Greece. The heroin was found during a routine check by customs officers and members of the Guardia di Finanza, or tax police. They were remanded in custody in a local jail and are expected to face charges of drug trafficking. Police said the heroin was of an exceptionally high quality and would have had a street value of around £16 million. It was hidden in between boxes of bread sticks, which were destined for shipment to an address in Lancashire. Bread sticks are normally associated with Italy but these were produced by a Greek manufacturer. Their truck, which had British license plates, was seized by customs officers, along with the drugs. Ferries arrive in Bari from the Greek ports of Igoumenitsa, Patras and Corfu.
