"The seizure is an important part of our ongoing work against serious organized crime, and is judged to have affected an international criminal network that handles drugs," said Christer Nilsson, head of the Investigation Unit at Noa, in a statement.

- It is, as far as I know, the largest amount of cocaine that Swedish police have taken, says Christer Nilsson to Swedish Radio.

Six people have been arrested.

During the operation, a large amount of cash was also seized.

The case is now being investigated as a suspicion of a particularly serious drug crime.
