South Wales Police Detective Sergeant Lia Jones said: “The parcel was intercepted by Royal Mail and examined as it arrived in the UK – we were notified by UK Border Agency and he was arrested soon after.
“Clearly, he was surprised to see us at his door instead of his parcel, and what we found behind the door was evidence of significant drug supply.
