Four men have been arrested by the National Crime Agency after several hundred kilos of drugs were seized from a boat in Somerset.
Two UK nationals, an Albanian national and a Greek national, aged between 30 and 50, were arrested in the early hours of this morning in Watchet, west Somerset on suspicion of importing drugs.
The group are suspected of using a high-powered rigid hulled inflatable boat (RHIB) to travel out to sea where it is believed a cargo vessel had dropped off packages of what is believed to be cocaine.
The men are suspected of picking up the drugs to bring them to shore where they would be transported to an onward location.
The NCA is investigating potential links with cargo vessels in the area at the time of the incident.
The four will be questioned by NCA officers.
