UK authorities seize cocaine worth more than $130 million from a ship at London port
[FoxNews] Somebody's gonna get whacked
British authorities seized 2.4 metric tons of cocaine in a ship arriving in England from Panama, authorities said Saturday, calling it one of the U.K.’s biggest drug busts in years. The drugs, valued at $132 million, were found under containers on a vessel at London Gateway port, east of the British capital. The shipment was discovered after what officials said was an intelligence-led operation. Britain’s interior ministry, the Home Office, said it was the sixth-largest cocaine seizure on record. Britain is one of Europe’s biggest markets for cocaine, according to the National Crime Agency. The U.K. government says cocaine-related deaths in England and Wales rose by 31% between 2022 and 2023.
