The Sojourner London was boarded by the authorities close to the Azores.

A yacht sailing under the British flag, Sojourner London, loaded with 800 kilos of cocaine was escorted into Cádiz port on Saturday amid high security after being intercepted by the special operations force of the Spanish National Police on the high sea close to the Azores.

The cargo, from Venezuela, has an estimated value of 48 million €, and was packed into 28 bales. There were three Lithuanian crew on board, who have all been arrested.
