All those officers involved in smashing this £24m drugs ring (Mail, March 25) are to be highly commended for their hard work and the sentences passed must have given extreme satisfaction for a job well done.

One thing occurs to me though. If foreign criminals have to spend their sentences here, surely the Government should invoice the country concerned for their ‘board and lodging’?

This could be a nice little earner for the Constabulary and help to put more officers on the ground.

Just a thought, but then flying pigs are a rarity!
