A driver has been charged after £10million worth of cocaine was found hidden in a load of frozen fish.
The haul was discovered in a refrigerated van when the vehicle was searched as it came off a ferry.
Officers found 97 packages, each containing around 2.2lb of cocaine.
The stash was discovered at Newhaven port, East Sussex, in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The National Crime Agency said the drugs could have been sold for around £10million at street level. Driver James Satterley, 50, of Cookham, near Maidenhead, Berks, has been charged with importing Class A drugs.
He is due to appear before Brighton magistrates court today.
NCA senior investigating officer Paul Morris said: “Working with partners we are determined to do all we can to disrupt the organised crime groups involved in the large-scale importation of class A drugs.”
