Brits Held in Peru Over 30kg Cocaine Haul


Police in Peru have said that three Britons and three Italians are among 27 suspects arrested this month after a huge haul of cocaine was seized.

Police said the British suspects were detained along with a Peruvian woman on Thursday as they allegedly tried to smuggle 30kgs of cocaine to the UK on a sailing boat, reports Sky News.

Some of the drugs were seized from the vessel's fuel tanks after it was intercepted leaving the Yacht Club de la Punta Callao, authorities said.

The Italian trio were arrested in Lima earlier this week for possession of cocaine and ecstasy.

Police claimed they belonged to a gang called "The Bambinos".

National Police director Raul Salazar said 1 ton of drugs had already been seized in operations this month.

He said the arrests showed his officers were effectively disrupting the "international tentacles" involved in the country's illegal drug trade.

Peruvian authorities said that between January and March of this year they had detained 3,013 people across the country in 3,025 operations.

Six hundred and fifty three were detained for trafficking, 351 for selling small amounts and 2009 for using drugs.

The South American country is one of the world's top drug producers.
