<p>The Royal Fleet Auxiliary&#8217;s Wave Knight was called into action after a suspicious speedboat was spotted in the sea between Puerto Rico and Venezuela.</p>
<p>A six-hour sea chase ensued.</p>
<p>A sniper from the British Royal Marines took out the boat&#8217;s engines from the back of a Lynx helicopter.</p>
<p>First, warning shots were fired. After these were ignored, the sniper took aim at the speedboat&#8217;s engines, and disabled the vessel.</p>
<p>An image from the chase released by the Royal Navy<br />
The speedboat was brought to a halt and the US Coast Guard boarded and seized 350kg of cocaine.</p>
<p>Before the officials had reached the speedboat, however, the boat&#8217;s crew were seen throwing what was later estimated to be another 650kg of cocaine worth around £26m.</p>
<p>The five crew from the speedboat were taken with the drugs onto the US Coast Guard cutter Richard Etheridge and handed over to authorities in Miami Beach.</p>
