Four held after £80m drugs seized
Four British men are under arrest in Ghana after officials seized £80m worth of cocaine destined for UK streets.

Ghanaian police and officials, acting after being passed intelligence, seized a tonne of the drug in a raid on a villa in Accra.

One German and two Ghanaians were also arrested following the raid - the culmination of a six-month intelligence operation led by UK Customs officers.

A Customs and Excise spokesman said intelligence had shown that all the cocaine was destined for Britain.
