Authorities in France say theyma seized a record-setting two tons of cocaine from a sailboat in the Caribbean this week. 

CNN reports that the drugs were recovered from a boat off the coast of Martinique on Wednesday. French customs officers were reportedly alerted because the boat was falsely flying an American flag. Martinique's Director of Customs Operations Michael Lachaux said two Spanish citizens and one Venezuelan were arrested. 

According to CNN, the drugs are valued at over $105 million. This comes just days after 14 tons of coke worth an estimated $424 million were seized from the Pacific Ocean. Insert all "Lost 92 bricks had to fall back" jokes here.
