A drug smuggler was caught carrying £180,000 of cocaine stuffed in her huge 46D bra.
Nola Williams, 47, was found with the stash after she arrived at Gatwick on a BA flight from Kingston, Jamaica, with a child and accomplice Raymond Goodison in January last year.
But despite being on licence for a previous jail sentence for drugs, Goodison was bailed and has since fled the country.

The pair were arrested as they boarded a train from the airport to Victoria station in central London.
A strip search revealed a kilogram of cocaine stitched into the cups of Williams' bra.
Goodison had used the woman as a 'mule' the court heard, as he was sentenced to 13 years in his absence. It is believed that he may now be in Jamaica or the US.
He was convicted of smuggling cocaine while Williams pleaded guilty to the same charge.
Judge Jeffery Blackett, sentencing Goodison at Croydon Crown Court, said: 'This man Raymond Goodison was, effectively, charged with importing over a kilo of cocaine into this country.
'He used Miss Williams, there's no doubt about that, so she could sew the drugs into her bra.
'She came through customs, with a child and then the offence was discovered.'
He continued: 'There's no doubt I can infer, that he played a leading role in this drug importation.
'He was convicted before and he was sentenced to ten years for a similar offence and he recently had been involved in the supply of drugs.
'He was a man who was said to be unemployed but had significant assets.'
He added that the money would have come from drug dealing.
Williams, of Stockwell, south London, was also due to be sentenced.
However, her barrister insisted that she had been a victim of human trafficking, so the judge adjourned her sentencing to allow more evidence to be gathered about the claims.
Sentencing Goodison, Judge Blackett continued: 'He was on license for his most recent drugs offence, the drugs were of high purity and he was using Miss Williams, whatever her status, as a mule.
'She was with a child when she came through Gatwick.'
He continued: 'The prosecution are correct to say there is no mitigation for this offence.'
During Goodison's trial, prosecutor Louis French said: 'The amount we are talking about is nearly a kilo of quite high quality, about 71 per cent purity and that 973g would, if it were sold on the street, would be worth about £180,000.
