Four men have been arrested after half a tonne of cocaine worth £40m was found in a village pub car park.   

They were detained by National Crime Agency officers on suspicion of conspiracy to import class A drugs at around 8.30am yesterday in Lelley, East Yorkshire.

The arrests come after the discovery of around 500 kilos of cocaine in the back of a van in the car park of the Stags Head Inn in Lelley.

The pub declined to comment but a source close to the premises stressed that the find was in no way connected to any members of staff.
