Man to be quizzed over record cocaine haul

A British man wanted for questioning over a botched plot to bring a record haul of cocaine into Ireland, has been arrested in Portugal.

Londoner Lee Dryden, 49, was detained on the Algarve after 180 kilos of cocaine worth an estimated €10m were found on board a nearby yacht.

Scotland Yard detectives want to quiz Dryden, from Bermondsey in south London, over a doomed plot to import €440m of the drug into Ireland five years ago.
