Cocaine worth £1.6 million has been seized in one of Northern Ireland's biggest drug hauls.
Around 20 kilos of the drug were found hidden inside an empty fuel tank being transported in a van.
The van had travelled on a ferry from Birkenhead in England to Belfast port on Monday February 22.
The van's driver, a 39-year-old man from Wolverhampton, was arrested on suspicion of conspiring to supply controlled drugs.
He is being questioned by investigators from the National Crime Agency (NCA).
Officers using special equipment had to be brought in to recover the drugs, in an operation which involved Belfast Harbour Police, Border Force and the PSNI.
Following the seizure a second man, aged 46, was arrested in Wolverhampton.
NCA branch commander Adam Warnock said: "This was a significant seizure of cocaine, one of the biggest to be made by law enforcement in Northern Ireland in recent years.
"The loss of the profit that would have been made from it will be felt by the criminal groups involved in drug supply in the province.
"Those groups are also involved in exploitation and violence in our communities, so taking away these drugs will prevent them from reinvesting in further criminal activity."
PSNI Detective Chief Superintendent John McVea said a large amount of cocaine "has been taken out of the control of criminals".
“We are delighted with the success of our law enforcement colleagues," he said.
"More importantly we are pleased with the positive impact this will have for individuals and communities within Northern Ireland in terms of disrupting the distribution and supply of Class A drugs and bringing those harmful offenders to justice."
