More than a tonne of cocaine with a street value of £80 million has been recovered from a trawler off Cornwall in one of the UK’s most significant seizures.
Three men have been charged after the converted fishing trawler, named Blanca, was boarded during a joint operation involving the NCA and Border Force.
More than 50 bags were recovered from the boat in a seizure the NCA said would have a ‘significant disruptive impact’ on the supply chain.
The owner and captain of the boat, Michael McDermott, 67, an Irish national, and his crew, Dutch national Gerald Van De Kooij, 26, and Briton David Pleasants, 57, appeared at Bodmin Magistrates’ Court on Saturday charged with importing cocaine.
