FOUR Brits nicked at sea trying to smuggle £100million of cocaine into the UK have been jailed for a total of 90 years.

The quartet set out on fishing boat the Lily Lola to pick up drugs in the Channel off the Isles of Scilly.

An Apple AirTag on each bag dropped at sea indicated its location.

A Border Force vessel intercepted the gang off north Cornwall and found on board 1,078 1kg blocks of cocaine from South America.

As officers approached, a covert audio device hidden on the gang’s boat recorded one of them saying, “We’re f****d”.

Michael Kelly, 45, of Manchester, and Jake Marchant, 27, of no fixed abode, admitted conspiring to smuggle cocaine.

They got 21 and 18 years respectively.

Jon Williams, 45, and Patrick Godfrey, 31, both of Swansea, were convicted of the charge at Truro crown court.

They got 26 and 25 years.

The court heard Godfrey was asleep on deck in a chair when the fishing boat was raided in September.

The gang also left 19 drug bags at sea.
