Tests are to begin on cocaine worth an estimated £406m seized off the south-west coast of Ireland

Tests are to begin on cocaine worth an estimated £406m seized off the south-west coast of Ireland. They are expected to confirm the haul as the country's biggest ever drugs seizure. Over one-and-a-half tonnes of cocaine were found on a 60ft yacht stormed by Irish authorities 200 miles at sea on Wednesday night.
The yacht, which had been tracked from the Caribbean, arrived at Castletownbere, County Cork, on Friday. The haul is expected to eclipse a seizure made last year in Dunlough Bay, west Cork, as the biggest ever in Irish territories. The drugs are to be weighed and analysed for purity. Two British men and a man from Dublin, all aged between 44 and 52, have been arrested in connection with the find.
