£100 million worth of cocaine seized from fishing boat near Cornwall.

Four individuals have been accused of a serious crime after a massive amount of cocaine, weighing one ton, was found on a fishing boat. The value of this illegal substance is estimated to be around £100,000,000, a staggering amount that has been prevented from reaching the streets. It all began when Border Force officers intercepted a fishing vessel, named the Lily Lola, off the coast of Britain near Newquay, Cornwall on a Friday afternoon. Upon inspection, they discovered 17 packages in the shape of bricks, carefully wrapped in brown packaging and labeled as 'pezx'.

The National Crime Agency (NCA) has assessed the street value of the one-ton batch to be approximately £100,000,000. As a result, four men were arrested and taken into custody, as confirmed by the NCA. Their names are Michael Kelly, Jon Paul Williams, Patrick Godfrey, and Jake Marchant, aged between 26 to 46 years old, with different addresses in Manchester and Swansea. They have all been charged with the importation of a controlled class A drug, which is a serious offense.

During the investigation, it was found that two of the packages were wrapped in dark packaging, possibly to avoid detection. The four accused individuals are currently still in custody and are scheduled to appear at Bodmin Magistrates' Court on Monday. In a statement, the branch commander Derek Evans expressed the gravity of this situation, stating that this amount of cocaine is a significant loss for the organized crime group responsible for attempting to bring it into the UK.

Working in collaboration with Border Force and the Joint Maritime Security Centre, the NCA has successfully intercepted this dangerous drug consignment and prevented it from entering the criminal marketplace. The supply of this cocaine would have fueled exploitation through county lines activities, as well as serious violence and knife crime. The investigation into this importation is ongoing, and authorities are determined to bring those involved to justice.
