U.S. Coast Guard seized 9 tons of cocaine from drug smuggling vessels in November

Last month, officials reported that the U.S. Coast Guard successfully intercepted and seized more than nine tons of cocaine from drug smuggling vessels operating in the Atlantic Ocean.

On Wednesday, the crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Waesche completed the offloading of the confiscated drugs, totaling 18,219 pounds of cocaine with an estimated street value exceeding $239 million.

These drug interdictions took place in six separate incidents off the coasts of Mexico, Central America, and South America throughout November, as detailed in a Coast Guard news release.

The seized quantities varied, ranging from 44 pounds of cocaine to an impressive haul of over 5,500 pounds retrieved from a self-propelled semi-submersible on November 20, CBS News reported.
