A man has been arrested after a quarter of a ton of cannabis was seized at Southampton Docks.
The consignment was discovered among metal tool chests and cabinets that had been imported into the UK.
National Crime Agency officers launched an investigation after Border Force colleagues discovered the Class B drugs in a shipping container on July 26.
On Tuesday, officers arrested a man in his 30s from Grays, Essex, in connection with the failed importation. He was interviewed and released pending further enquiries.
