NCA operations manager Jules Harriman said: “This amount of cocaine will represent a significant loss for the organised crime group that attempted to import it into the UK.

“With our partners at Border Force and the Joint Maritime Security Centre (JMSC), we have successfully removed this harmful drug consignment from the criminal marketplace.

“Our investigation into this importation continues.”

Danny Hewitt, director of Border Force National Operational HQ, said it was a “significant seizure”, adding that Border Force and NCA are working together “to stop these toxic drugs from hitting our streets in the first place”.

“We continue to work tirelessly to protect our borders and keep the public safe,” he said.
