The Royal Navy has reported that a British ship patrolling Caribbean waters has made a 180 Million pound or US$ 350 million Drug haul

The Navy said the ship intercepted the Venezuelan-registered fishing boat, Oliana One, 620 nautical miles north-east of Barbados and found 2.9 tonnes of cocaine.
The officials said the 65-foot boat was tracked down by the ship’s helicopter and after its pilot ignored radio calls.
The fishing boat was boarded by a United States Coast Guard detachment which was travelling as part of the crew on the Wave Ruler.
They said the crew claimed they were on a fishing expedition, but on checking the vessel the cocaine was found in the hold.
The crew members were detained before being handed over to Venezuelan authorities.
