Two separate busts in the Caribbean late last month seized a total of $46.2 million in cocaine, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
Nine people were arrested in the operations, and the Coast Guard says about 1,400 kilograms, or 3,086 pounds, of cocaine were confiscated.
On Jan. 24, the crew of the RFA Mounts Bay, a United Kingdom Royal Navy ship with U.S. Coast Guard law enforcement members and a Coast Guard helicopter on board, spotted two "go-fast" boats about 74 nautical miles south of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, according to the Coast Guard.
