Coke bust is £100m

-

POLICE have said 1.2 tonnes of cocaine seized on its way to Britain was worth £100million on the street.

Three Brits and two Spaniards were held following the seizure – one of the largest ever on Spanish soil.

The class-A drug was found in an HGV being unloaded near Granada.

Police chief Eugenio Pereiro said that the trafficker­s could have earned £ 40million by selling the cocaine in bulk.

But he put its street value, if sold to individual punters, at £100million.
