Fears British cocaine pair ‘would flee’

- BY GERARD COUZENS

COCAINE cruise suspects Roger and Sue Clarke have been locked up on remand in Portugal because they are a “flight risk”, prosecutor­s have said.

The expats – held after coke worth £2million was allegedly found in their cases – were also refused bail over fears they would tamper with evidence.

And yesterday it emerged Roger, 72, and wife Sue, 70, were once jailed in Norway for traffickin­g 260kg of marijuana.

Roger got five years while Sue got four after they were seen taking the drug from secret compartmen­ts in their car in 2005.

The Kent couple, who now live in Guardamar, near Alicante, Spain, were arrested earlier this month as they returned from a Caribbean cruise.
