March 15, 2018 Bridget Johnson

The Coast Guard broke records last year with its interceptions of cocaine shipments, Commandant Adm. Paul Zukunft confirmed to Congress on Wednesday, amounting to 10 times the amount of the drug seized via land smuggling.

Testifying before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation, Zukunft noted among recent USCG accomplishments the seizure of more than 450,000 pounds of cocaine worth over $6 billion wholesale.
