BRITISH ships have seized one of the world's biggest drug hauls after a high-speed sunset swoop netted tonnes of cocaine with a UK street value of £350million, it was announced today.
Defence Secretary John Reid praised the work of the crews in dealing a blow to drug barons following the raid on the cargo ship - the MV Rampage - in the south-west Caribbean off Miami on Wednesday.
The joint operation involving the Royal Navy and Royal Fleet Auxiliary resulted in a three and a half tonne haul of cocaine, which had been stashed in sacks.
Mr Reid said: "This is another great success for the Royal Navy in countering the trafficking of illegal drugs, which destroy the lives of families in the United Kingdom and around the world.
"The professional crews of HMS Southampton and RFA Grey Rover deserve huge credit for dealing another massive blow to the drug barons that would attack our society."
