"The new "British FBI" seized 73 tonnes of cocaine with a street value of more than £3bn in its first year. The Serious Organised Crime Agency said the haul, most of which was intercepted at sea, represents a fifth of Europe's annual supply. Officers working on the other side of the Atlantic are partly responsible for the success which targets vulnerable transport networks.
They use tip-offs from many sources, including officials in the United States, to trace drugs back to their sources in Columbia, Venezuela, Brazil and the Caribbean."
