Including 80 kg of heroin! HMS Lancaster based ATM in the Middle East. A force of 42 commandos boarded the vessel.
It’s on the BBC website.
Nice to see some positive news for once!

The seizure probably won't have been by accident and by information received and acted on.
I read a great book by a drug liaison officer who was stationed in Columbia and a lot of seizures are made to look by chance to protect the confidential informants.
As people get executed when seizures are made.

It wasn’t by accident - they’d been tailing them.
