Jail terms for Ghana drug girls

Two British girls convicted of trying to smuggle cocaine from Ghana to the UK have been jailed for one year each. Yasemin Vatansever and Yatunde Diya, both 16 and from north London, were arrested at Accra international airport on 2 July 2007. They denied trying to smuggle 6kg (13lbs) of the drug to London.

They were lucky! 12 months for 6 kilos of Charlie (worth around £350k on the street) - I've known people get longer for 6 GRAMS!
