Moment a Royal Marine sniper stops a speedboat carrying £40million worth of cocaine with a single shot from a helicopter

Navy ship Wave Knight launched a Lynx helicopter to fire shots at the traffickers to bring their speedboat to a stop following a dramatic six-hour chase across the Caribbean. Once the boat was brought to a halt, a specialist team of US coast guards boarded the craft and recovered 14 bales of illegal narcotics. Tests revealed it to be 350kg of cocaine with a wholesale value on the streets of more than £14million had those drugs reached the UK.
