A boat filled with £18million worth of cocaine crashed into a beach after three men were chased for 28 miles at sea by 'Britain's FBI'.

Border Force Officers spotted the Rigid Hulled Inflatable Boat (RHIB) on the horizon while carrying out an operation off the coast of Newquay, Cornwall, last September.

They suspected the boat had drugs onboard and tried to intercept the vehicle but as they approached the RHIB, it sped off.

Officers chased after the boat - meanwhile the three men onboard threw packages into the sea - it then reached Gwynver Beach, Penzance, and the men ran off.

Six large containers containing around 230kg of 'high-purity cocaine' were recovered from the ocean and the men were caught by Border Force officers who chased them on foot.
