Video: Coast Guard / Petty Officer 3rd Class Brandon MurrayRoughly $20 million worth of cocaine was recently seized by the U.S. Coast Guard on patrol near Puerto Rico, resulting in the arrest of two male smugglers, the agency said.
Officials said the seizure happened during a routine patrol on March 30 when the crew of a Customs and Border Protection aircraft spotted a "suspect vessel" in the Caribbean Sea near Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. The crew in the Coast Guard’s Cutter Donald Horsley, a 154-foot fast response patrol boat, soon intercepted the 35-foot boat.
"This case highlights the Coast Guard’s unwavering resolve and that of our fellow partners to interdict drug smuggling vessels at sea and safeguard the nation’s southernmost maritime border," Capt. Gregory H. Magee, Sector San Juan commander, said in a statement.
