Two more charged over harbour drugs seizure

Two more men have been charged in relation to a drugs seizure in a coastal town.

About 322 kilos (710 lbs) of cocaine, worth an estimated £26.5m, were found by National Crime Agency officers in the early hours of the 31 July in Watchet, Somerset.

Colin Benson, 59, and Joshua Rose, 38 - both from Longton in Preston - were arrested on Tuesday by National Crime Agency officers.

They appeared at Taunton Magistrates Court earlier charged with importing class A drugs, and were remanded in custody.

The pair will next appear in North Somerset Crown Court on 5 December.
