A man from Bolton is among four men arrested after a huge stash of cocaine worth £140m was seized at a port in Suffolk. The suspects were held today in morning raids after an investigation by the National Crime Agency.
The NCA said in a statement: "Two of the suspects aged 67 and 48, are from Chorley, Lancashire; one 39-year-old is from Bolton, and the fourth is a 40-year-old from Derby in the Midlands. They were all arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to import cocaine and remain in custody awaiting interview."
NCA officers conducted searches of their homes and a number of business premises in Derby, Chorley and Standish, near Wigan.
