A Royal Navy warship has seized cocaine with a street value of more than £40m in the Caribbean Sea.

Royal navy stopping illegals would be good
Why isn’t the Navy in the channel protecting the UK from the invasion of boats?
when officers capture drugs ,?? where do the drugs go to be held safely. who is responsible for safety , accountability and security of the drugs.. what happens to those drugs in stored safety?? who is in charge and who keeps a regular check on those drugs????? who checks the check????? . how many checks are made ???? Any one know??? who checks the arresting officers during and immediately after any drug confiscation???? Who is officially accountable when drug searches and findings are carried out? Who is responsible for the records and logging checks etc??? who holds the records? How can the public or others gain such information???
Outraged
Yet our boarders are being overloaded we need them elsewhere
Larry’s and gents, all the proof you need that the small boats can be stopped but the government refuses to do so. Keeping your wages low and their profits high is the name of the game and social justice wars are what they use to keep you too busy to unite and rally against them. They are winning.
10 percent for his majesty…???
The navy should be defending our borders.
Stop the drugs & let all the potential terrorists in… Navy in cahoots with Downing Street redistributing the Charlie… Worst than Columbia
Great work. Now protect the English channel.
They can stop drugs but they won't stop killers, rapists, thefts, coming. Its because they don't want to
40 pound-metres? What?
So they can police coastlines. That's good to know in case we ever get into the situation where thousands of undesirables are trying to illegally enter the country ever day.
Great, now stop the dinghy divers.
😂😂😂 in the meantime another million illegal immigrants land on British soil
Right job wrong waters.
Stop stopping the boats, we didn't think it though properly
If the Royal Navy can do this in the Caribbean why the he’ll can’t we re deploy this into the channel where w clearly have a problem with smuggling and not some other countries problem to solve
I was going to put a comment, but there’s no need there’s nothing else to say just read these comments come on government 😢
How much money is it costing uk tax payers for the navy ti no on the other side of the world catching drug smugglers.
