TWO men have been arrested on suspicion of importing drugs after what is believed to be cocaine was seized from a boat moored in Brighton Marina.
Border Force officers continued searching the vessel Tacabanda II this evening (Tues) after the arrest on Monday night and said the search was "likely to continue for some time".
The two men, aged 29 and 62, were in custody at the time of writing and being questioned by officers from the National Crime Agency (NCA).
A NCA spokesman said this evening: "Investigations are ongoing."
Further details on the quantity seized would not be available until the search was over, he added.
