Coke plane crash lands £4m stash

-

A PRIVATE plane carrying 860lbs of cocaine worth £4million crash-landed on a motorway, sending the trafficker­s scrambling into woods to dodge police.

The Hawker 700, which authoritie­s in Mexico had traced from Venezuela, came crashing down with its illicit cargo on a state highway in Quintana Roo in the Yucatan Peninsula.

Its crew fled into the forest before the military reached the scene, but authoritie­s said they recovered the drugs nearby when they stopped a truck that had been loaded up with the plane’s cargo.

Air Force officials said a military T-6C Texan plane was sent to intercept the narco plane and ordered it to land before it made the forced landing on the road.

Two planes carrying guns and cocaine were also seized in the region on consecutiv­e days back in January.

Agatha – played by Laura Carmichael – works in the supermarke­t as a shelf-stacker.

While Meghan – played by Jessica De Gouw – is a “mummy blogger” on the rise.

Due to their contrastin­g incomes, Agatha lives in a grubby flat while Meghan is comfortabl­y middle-class, so the two characters couldn’t be more different.

But the actors playing them have something in common – they have both got their kit off in the past.

Downton Abbey star Laura, 33, has posed topless for a fancy photo shoot in Love magazine, while Jessica, 32, was also topless for the 2014 flick Cut Snake.

And co-star Cariba Heine, 31, peeled off for the cameras during the making of Blood Brothers in 2011.
