Navy seizes £1billion of cocaine [UK]

Navy seizes £1billion of cocaine

A ROYAL Navy helicopter crew seized a record 10.9 tonnes of cocaine worth £1BILLION on the streets in three dramatic high seas raids.

The 170mph Lynx’s two pilots, Royal Marine machine gunner and a commando sniper diced with death during daredevil flying in the Caribbean.

They first struck on September 10 when they seized five tonnes — the biggest haul in Navy history — 600 miles north east of Barbados. It followed a five-day hunt involving treacherous night flying from their support ship RFA Wave Ruler.

They intercepted ten drug-runners on a fishing boat trying to collect a consignment dropped at sea by plane. In a bid to flee, the smugglers set fire to their boat and abandoned ship in two dinghies.

The chopper sunk the wreckage with its machine gun.

On October 23, the crew seized three tonnes after swooping on an 80ft tug and forcing it to cut its engines off Colombia. Members of a Belgian frigate boarded and found the stash under floorboards.

Just days ago the men traced a third craft — a Venezuelan fishing boat called Oliana 1 — 800 miles east of Barbados and heading for Europe.

They flew blind in clouds for two hours at night to avoid spooking the eight smugglers into dumping the consignment while Wave Ruler caught up. With fuel supplies dwindling, they swooped at dawn and forced the vessel to stop. The busts followed US Drug Enforcement Administration tip-offs. Last night the crew — Lynx commander Lt Chris Grey, 30, pilot Lt Chris Sharrott, 28, machine gunner Cpl Paul Tyrll, 25, and Marine James Whitaker, 19 — were celebrating in Barbados with their ship’s 80-strong company.

Lt Grey said: We’re chuffed to bits. It’s good to know we’ve helped stop these drugs reaching Britain.” Defence Secretary Des Browne said: “This is a massive blow to drug-runners.”

Wait...Why is the Royal Navy doing this?

Is Barbados a british posession?

After one comes, through contact with it's administrators, no longer to cherish greatly the law as a remedy in abuses, then the bottle becomes a sovereign means of direct action.  If you cannot throw it at least you can always drink out of it.  - Ernest Hemingway

If it is life that you feel you are missing I can tell you where to find it.  In the law courts, in business, in government.  There is nothing occurring in the streets. Nothing but a dumbshow composed of the helpless and the impotent.    -Cormac MacCarthy

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.  - Aeschylus
