Six men have been arrested after cocaine worth £40 million was seized on a Sussex beach.
The men were arrested in locations across England in a National Crime Agency (NCA) investigation.
Today, a 39-year-old was arrested at Luton Airport. Another 39-year-old was arrested in Liverpool on Monday.
Yesterday, NCA officers also arrested a man, aged 38, in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire; a 45-year-old in Bournemouth, Dorset; a 41-year-old in Poole, Dorset; and a man, aged 36, in Tilbury in Essex.
The arrests come after officers recovered a rigid-hulled inflatable boat at Medmerry Beach, near Selsey, on August 19.
It contained 500kg of cocaine.
The latest arrests take the total arrested in connection to the cocaine importation to 12.
All have been released on bail.
