$270 Million dollars cocaine:Three Britons arrested after 1.3tonnes of cocaine found on flight from Venezuela to Paris

Three Britons have been arrested after more than a tonne of cocaine was found stashed in suitcases on a flight from Venezuela to Paris.
French police, who had been working alongside British, Dutch and Spanish colleagues, said the huge haul has a street value of around almost £170million.
It was discovered at Charles De Gaulle airport on an Air France flight which had arrived from the Venezuelan capital Caracas.

French Interior Minister Manuel Valls said it was the biggest find of its type in metropolitan France.
French police commander Mohamed Douhane said: "Such a seizure, in such circumstances, is quite simply exceptional.
"Now an inquiry will have to determine if there were other accomplices, whether within the company or at the arrival or departure airports," he added.

French police discovered the haul on September 11 but only revealed it on Saturday as they put the 30 empty suitcases on display.
Venezuela has arrested three National Guard officials for alleged involvement in the drug-smuggling operation.
Public prosecutors will charge a first sergeant, a second sergeant and a first lieutenant for "allegedly committing crimes established by Venezuelan law," the prosecutor's office said, without offering details of what charges it would file.
It added that authorities in Paris had detained six people, three of whom are Italian and three British.
The drugs were stashed in suitcases that were registered under false names that did not correspond to passengers on the flight to Charles de Gaulle airport, French police sources told Reuters news agency.
Cocaine comes from coca leaves grown in countries like Colombia, Peru and Bolivia.
Venezuela does not produce cocaine, according to United Nations monitors, but experts say drug traffickers are increasingly using its territory to smuggle drugs into other nations.
Air France said it was still trying to find out how the drugs were smuggled on board.
"Pending the results of these investigations, immediate measures have been taken to enhance our checks of baggage and goods on departure from certain sensitive destinations," the airline said in a statement.
