ANTWERP - More than 2400 kilos of cocaine was found on the container ship MSC Lorena, which had to be put aside in Vlissingen at the end of December after a bomb threat that later turned out to be false. "The drugs were found in a container between a cover load of cocoa," said the Antwerp public prosecutor's office.
The bomb threat was reported to the Belgian police on 22 December when the container ship was berthed off the coast of Vlissingen. The ship then had to anchor for a week. After an investigation found nothing, the ship was able to moor in the port of Antwerp on December 29 to unload cargo.
The police have arrested two suspects for involvement in the false bomb threat. It concerns a 24-year-old man from Delft and a 22-year-old man from The Hague. They are suspected of terrorist threats.
