Drugs found on lobster pots

THREE men were arrested on suspicion of importing drugs into Britain after suspect packages were found attached to lobster pots off the coast.

The trio were arrested in Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight in a joint operation involving Hampshire and Isle of Wight police, the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) and the UK Border Agency.

A member of the public spotted rucksacks attached to the pots off the south coast on Sunday morning.
