UK police have seized a record-breaking 5.7 tonne shipment of cocaine, estimated to be worth £450 million, in a container of bananas at Southampton Port. The drugs, believed to be en route to the Port of Hamburg in Germany, represent the largest ever seizure of Class A drugs in the UK and will significantly impact international crime cartels. The NCA is working with international law enforcement agencies to target and dismantle these networks, with a zero-tolerance approach to drug supply.
