France seizes cocaine from Ghana, second such case in months

French customs authorities have seized nearly 3.9 metric tons of cocaine at the northern port of Dunkirk. The shipment, which officials estimate has a street value of 225 million euros, or approximately 261.45 million dollars, was intercepted on Thursday.

The seizure follows a similar incident reported several months ago, in which Australian authorities intercepted a shipment of methamphetamine originating from Ghana. French organized crime units are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the Dunkirk discovery.
