Coast Guard unloads 26,000 pounds of cocaine seized from Pacific
SAN DIEGO — The U.S. Coast Guard has seized $350 million in cocaine from the Pacific Ocean in recent weeks, the military said Friday.
On July 18, Coast Guard hauled in 2,300 pounds of cocaine from a "go fast" boat in the eastern Pacific in an operation captured on video.
The Coast Guard on Friday in San Diego staged the unloading of 26,000 pounds of seized cocaine. The midsummer haul is from six interdictions as well as fishing out floating bales of drugs, Coast Guard officials said.
The last two fiscal years have seen record drug seizures, mostly involving cocaine, on the high seas of the eastern Pacific, Coast Guard Lt. Commander Matthew Kroll said.
Despite high-profile seizures, including one this month that was captured in dramatic video of Guard Cutter Munro crew members stopping an alleged drug submarine, this year is not on pace to be a record haul, he said.
