A mother who tried to bring medical cannabis into the UK illegally in a bid to help her severely epileptic daughter wept after it was confiscated at the airport.
Campaigner Emma Appleby flew back to Britain from Holland on Saturday morning with her partner Lee, carrying a supply of medical cannabis oils for nine-year-old Teagan.
But the three-month supply of medicines, which cost £4,600, was seized after the family landed at Southend Airport in Essex.
She told ITV News: “They went through everything and they seized everything we had.”
