Six men have been arrested off the coast of Plymouth in the UK after authorities seized more than two tonnes of cocaine worth around £160 million.

The UK's National Crime Agency (NCA) said an operation involving its personnel as well as the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and the British Border Force arrested a British man and five Nicaraguans aboard a Jamaican-flagged yacht 80 miles out to sea.
