Around 360kg of cocaine – with a potential value of £50m – found on two Norfolk beaches, National Crime Agency says.
Matthew Rivers, from the NCA’s border investigation team, said: “We are now working with Border Force, the Coastguard Agency and Norfolk Police to try and establish how the bags ended up where they did, however it is extremely unlikely that this was their intended destination.
“This is obviously a substantial seizure of class A drugs, and its loss will represent a major blow to the organised criminals involved.
“Anyone with information can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111”
Superintendent Dave Buckley, from Norfolk Constabulary, said:“We are assisting the National Crime Agency with their searches and whilst we believe we have recovered all the packages, should any member of the public find one they are urged to contact Norfolk Constabulary immediately on 101. We will have extra officers in the area to monitor the situation.”
