Mail.comSAN DIEGO (AP) — A Coast Guard cutter arrived Thursday in San Diego with more than 14 tons of cocaine, part of what authorities described as a surge of seizures near Central and South America.
The cocaine, valued by the Coast Guard at $424 million, was seized by U.S. and Canadian forces in 19 separate incidents in the eastern Pacific Ocean near Central and South America. It included a 10½-ton bust from a coastal freighter, the largest maritime drug interdiction in that area since 2009.
The U.S. Navy and Coast Guard and Royal Canadian Navy ships have seized more than 28 tons of cocaine valued at $848 million in the eastern Pacific region near Central and South America in the last six months, resulting in 101 arrests. That’s more than the 12-month period that ended in September, and U.S. authorities called it the most successful run for drug seizures in the area since 2009.
Suspicious vessels in international waters were tracked by military or law enforcement aircraft or vessels. Coast Guard personnel operating from Coast Guard cutters and Royal Canadian Navy vessels boarded the ships to seize the drugs.
Thursday’s arrival marked the second time that the Cutter Boutwell returned home with a huge load of drugs. In October, its crew turned over more than 14 tons of cocaine to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
I estimate the “new batch” should be available and on your streets by this weekend!
the coast guard now goes to different continents to steal shit from other people. the f@cking coast guard. COAST…GUARD… different hemis-f@cking-sphere.
BURN THIS GOD DAMNED SHIT HOLE TO THE BEDROCK.
Well who else is capable of getting all this coke past the Coast Guard?
CIA, mossad, DEA, mexicans, hondoran kids(unaccompanied minors), bill clinton.
Those are my best guesses.
What to hell is the US Coast Guard doing all the way down there?
Stealing their cocaine..
and if they weren’t planing on making any money off of it here in America,, than why was it brought to our shores?
right.
Why not cut the bails and toss it overboard?
Because they are “just following orders” and those orders say cocaine party at the gay bath house @1600 Pennsylvania ave.
Yup Ryan, with budget cuts skimming off the “gravy”, they had to find new sources of revenue.
Why in the hell is our National Guard being deployed to foreign countries ? UN control !!! We are a captured nation . . .
I would not be surprised if all that coke was ” cut and packaged for distribution ” before it ever got to port here . . .
Off topic here, breaking news on CNN, 12 Christians thrown overboard by Muslims on route to Italy. The video showed emergency crews wearing jackets that said “Holocaust Psychology”, WFT?
Just guessing here, but I’m thinking a number of these coasties have their “tax-free” retirements made in the shade now.
“In October, its crew turned over more than 14 tons of cocaine to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.”
Who shall turn a tidy profit for their jew masters.
What actually happens to drug seizures? I can’t imagine it gets destroyed at all.
. . .
Likely the vast majority of the ‘elite’ “consume mass quantities”, Cathleen, so destroying ANY of it would not be on the agenda. 😉
