Madrid: Two Spanish smugglers were caught by the French Customs and around 2 tons of cocaine was seized from a boat off Martinique, French authorities said Saturday.
France’s Finance Ministry said the Wednesday raid took place 125 miles off the coast of the French Caribbean Island and led to the arrest of three people, one Venezuelan and two Spanish citizens. Officials from Britain and Spain also participated in the operation.
Last week’s haul accounts for more than one-third of the 6.6 tons of cocaine that French customs officials seized in 2014.
