Four arrested off Cornwall after suspected cocaine found on boat

Four men have been arrested after about one tonne of what was suspected to be cocaine was seized from a fishing boat off Cornwall, the National Crime Agency (NCA) has said.

The boat had been off the coast of Newquay when it was stopped by Border Force officers on Friday.

The four men on board were arrested on suspicion of importing class A drugs and conveyed to police custody to be questioned by NCA investigators.

Derek Evans, NCA branch commander, said: “This is a significant amount of cocaine that will represent a huge loss for the organised crime group that attempted to import it into the UK.”
