Four drug smugglers were convicted of a property to smuggle more than one ton of cocaine on a fishing boat off the coast of Cornwall after an examination by the national crime agency.

Shortly after 2 p.m. on September 13th, the HMC Valiant from Border Force Cutter was on patrol off the north coast of Cornwall and used a RHIB (rigid, lubricated inflatable boat) to intercept the Lily Lola.

Williams, the captain and who bought the boat two months earlier for around £ 140,000, was at the top. Marchant without a permanent residence was next to him. Kelly from Portway, Manchester, was in the accommodation area and Godfrey slept in a cover chair.
