80kg of cocaine being delivered to Gainsborough has been seized by police.
The drugs were seized as part of an operation which saw police at the Corringham Industrial Estate area on Friday 8 November led by the East Midlands Special Operations Unit (EMSOU) in partnership with other law enforcement agencies.
The operation was supported by officers from Lincolnshire Police.
Specialist search teams and investigators remained in the area on Friday and Saturday to carry out enquiries and further searches.
Two men, aged 24 and 27, were arrested at the scene on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of cocaine. They have been questioned by detectives and released on police bail while investigations continue.
