US find 1.5 tons of coke on its way to Rotterdam

American customs have found nearly 1500 kilos of cocaine in a container that was about to be shipped to Rotterdam.

The drugs were hidden in sixty boxes. They were found at the end of last month in a container on a ship that arrived in New York harbor. It is the largest drug catch in that port in 25 years.

The American detectives say they had received a tip from their British colleagues. The cocaine would be brought from New York to Rotterdam, with London as the final destination, says the British justice.
