Royal Naval warship HMS Dauntless, deployed in the Caribbean for hurricane season, has seized almost 1.8 tonnes of cocaine – worth more than £140 million, or CI$144 million, in two drug busts.
The Royal Navy, in a statement over the weekend, said the first seizure followed a “successful operation” against drug traffickers in the Caribbean Sea in which the Portsmouth-based warship hunted down a drugs-running “go-fast” vessel and seized 1,230 kilogrammes of cocaine.
