Royal Navy's £100m cocaine bust


The Royal Navy has busted a drug-smuggling fishing boat in the Caribbean and seized cocaine worth £100m. In one of the Navy's biggest ever seizures, HMS Grafton tracked the drug runners' boat off Venezuela. Spy planes and the warship closed in on the suspicious boat after a tip-off from the US drugs agency.
