A 29-year-old man from Stornoway has been arrested in an international drugs sting where 1.2 tonnes of cocaine worth £96m was seized from a boat.
He was skippering a Spanish-registered yacht intercepted by the French navy on 18 December, around 1,200 miles east of Martinique in the Atlantic.
Two other British crew members were also arrested and taken to Martinique to face criminal charges.
National Crime Agency officers worked alongside agents in France and Spain.
The operation targeted a crime group suspected of shipping cocaine across the Atlantic to Europe.
Officers recovered around 40 bales of cocaine from the vessel, with an estimated UK street value of around £96m
