A shipment of around 5.7 tonnes of cocaine has been discovered in Southampton Port, marking the UK’s “largest ever” Class A drugs bust.
The UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) and Border Force made the seizure on Thursday, February 8, after the haul was found inside a banana shipment.
According to Metro, the haul would have been large enough to supply “every man, woman and child in the UK” twice over, racking up an enormous total of 114 million lines.
