The cargo ship is intercepted in international waters
(Picture: National Crime Agency)More than four tonnes of cocaine, that would have been worth a combined £300 million on the street, has been seized from a tug boat on its way to Europe.
The British National Crime Agency worked with French, American and Brazilian authorities to intercept the 21m-long ship off the west coast of Africa on November 30. The combined forces are working together in a joint project to stop the Brazil-Africa-Europe drug trade.
