Semper Party: Coast Guard offloads record $1.4 billion haul of coke and weed
10 hours ago
The Coast Guard Cutter James brought in a record haul Thursday at Port Everglades, Florida, offloading nearly 60,000 pounds of cocaine and more than 1,400 pounds of marijuana. The drugs were worth more than $1.4 billion, according to the Coast Guard.
“It was the largest offload in Coast Guard history,” officials said in a media release.
Coast Guard officials credited the offload to its “strong international relationships, with key partners like Canada and the Netherlands, along with our specialized capabilities and unmatched authorities, allow for a unity of effort to disrupt transnational crime organizations, which threaten America and our partner nations.
