Two men have pleaded guilty to smuggling drugs worth £37 million after being caught with 350 kilos of cocaine off the coast of Suffolk. The dramatic incident unfolded when the men, traveling on an inflatable boat near East Benacre Broads, attempted to evade capture by leaping into the sea. Officers from the National Crime Agency, along with Border Force officers, pursued the smugglers after they failed to stop. The men were eventually apprehended, and the significant quantity of cocaine, valued at £39 million, was seized.
