 "Two men from St Leonards were arrested after police seized cannabis worth more than £8 million.
They were said to be 'at the UK distribution end' of a group importing the drug by sea from Morocco.
The Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) and the Middle Market Drugs Partnership - made up of Metropolitan Police, Customs and SOCA officers - boarded a yacht on Friday in a joint operation with Spanish police.
They seized more than 2.8 tons of cannabis, including 2.71 tons of cannabis resin and 100 kilos of high-grade skunk cannabis.
A statement from SOCA said: 'The operation targeted a British organised crime group based in Malaga who hired a catamaran, the Cariro 2, to transport the cannabis from Morocco to the UK.
'On Friday, armed officers from the Spanish National Police boarded the catamaran while it was midway between Morocco and Spain, and apprehended the crew members.'
Three British men and a British woman are being questioned by Spanish police, along with three Moroccan men and one Moroccan woman."
