Four men were arrested in a series of raids after £140m of cocaine was found in a shipping container.
The four men were detained in a series of coordinated raids this morning, Tuesday, November 29 following the discovery of cocaine earlier this year. In August this year Border Force officers discovered a container at the Port of Felixstowe, Suffolk containing a huge haul of class A drugs in 20 kilo sacks.
The discovery sparked a major National Crime Agency investigation (NCA). Two of the suspects, aged 67 and 48, are from Chorley, Lancashire. A 39-year-old was arrested in Bolton and a fourth is a 40-year-old from Derby.
