UK NAVY INTERCEPTS VENEZUELAN REGISTERED SHIP WITH MASSIVE AMOUNT OF COCAINE

BBC:

Plymouth-based Royal Navy warship HMS Portland has seized two tonnes of cocaine in a drugs bust.

The ship was on patrol in the North Atlantic when one of her Lynx helicopters found a suspicious looking fishing vessel.

As HMS Portland approached the crew were seen throwing packages over the side of the Venezuelan-registered boat.

Five hundred kilos of cocaine were recovered from the sea and another 1.5 tonnes on the boat.
