More than a tonne of cocaine worth about £100million was found hidden in a shipment of banana pulp from Colombia, the Home Office says.

Border Force officers discovered the concealed drugs, which were destined for the streets of Europe, during a routine inspection at the London Gateway depot in Thurrock, Essex last month.

A total of 1,060 kilograms of cocaine were found hidden in a shipping container docked at the port on the Thames Estuary. It is thought that the drugs were put in the cargo in Colombia - the world's leading supplier of cocaine - and were due to arrive in Antwerp, Belgium.

The discovery on November 12 marks the second-largest shipment of cocaine to be discovered at the Essex port in the space of two months.
