Royal Navy has confiscated tonnes of cocaine worth £500 million off Scottish coast.
This is Britain’s biggest ever drugs bust as more than three tonnes of cocaine worth a whooping excess of £500million confiscated by the Royal Navy after a patrol on a ship in the North Sea.
The Tanzanian registered tug boat MV Hamal, operated by a Turkish gang, was intercepted by the Navy and Border Force officials a distance of about 100 miles east of the Aberdeenshire coast last week.
Nine Turkish citizens have since been arrested and put in custody on Monday in connection with alleged drug trafficking offences.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) has earlier reported that two tonnes had been found, but after further investigation another tonne was found.
Experts believe it was came from South America and loaded onto the boat in the Canary Islands.
