Scotland Yard has made its biggest haul of cocaine in more than a decade, following on from Metropolitan Police officers seizing a large amount of cannabis at Tilbury Docks.
The cocaine haul - weighing about 370lb (168kg) - was found in 180 packages at a storage unit in Aylesbury, Bucks on June 17.
On June 9, police seized 1,102lb (500kg) of cannabis at Tilbury Docks, on a ship from South Africa.
Officers had launched Operation Bandage Borough, which took detectives to Tilbury and Aylesbury, after intelligence led them to believe the drugs were destined for businesses and residents in Ealing.
A 33-year-old women from Islington, London, and a 41-year-old man from Stoke Newington, London - have been charged with conspiracy to supply cocaine and cannabis.
