CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - A Charleston-based Coast Guard ship aided in the seizure of more than $377 million dollars worth of drugs.
The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter James returned to Charleston on Thursday following a 62-day counter-drug patrol in support of Operation Martillo in the Eastern Pacific Ocean.
Coast Guard officials say that during their patrol, the James’ crew, along with other units and agencies contributed to the interdiction of seven drug-smuggling vessels and were responsible for the seizure of more than 9,000 pounds of cocaine and 4,085 pounds of marijuana bound for the United States.
