15 miles off the Belgian port of Ostend in the North Sea authorities found a ton of cocaine. Maritime police used a tugboat with a crane to collect the drugs and bring it to shore. The drugs were from a pilot boat, when personnel noticed the drugs in several duffel bags and threw it off the boat. The drugs were confiscated and valued at 50 million euros at least. To avoid customs and charges drug smugglers tend to abandon the drugs. With 2650 pounds of cocaine the authorities definitely scored this time.
