00:00This video was recently captured in Suffolk in the UK, but this wasn't a day out for

00:04some water sports enthusiasts.

00:07This was part of a high speed boat chase, conducted by Britain's National Crime Agency,

00:11or NCA, as they pursued two men suspected of drug smuggling.

00:15The smugglers initially stopped when hailed by NCA officials, however when questioned

00:19they attempted to flee.

00:21During the chase one of the men jumps overboard and swims to shore.

00:24Moments later the NCA brings the boat to a stop, but then the driver also jumps into

00:28the water and attempts to swim to shore as well.

00:31The agency says they apprehended both men, one on the beach at the time of this video

00:35and the other later that day.

00:37When the boat was inspected they found it contained some 350 kilos of cocaine, or what

00:42the NCA says is worth around 50 million dollars on the street.

00:46The incident occurred earlier this summer, on June 24th, however they only recently appeared

00:51at Ipswich Crown Court.

00:53Both pled guilty to importing a controlled drug.
