U.S. Coast Guard fast response cutter Glen Harris has seized $11 million worth of heroin during a patrol in the Gulf of Oman.
The Glen Harris confiscated 310 kilograms of heroin from the fishing vessel May 31 while operating under Combined Task Force 150, one of the four task forces the U.S. oversees as part of Combined Maritime Forces. Thirty-four other nations also participate in Combined Maritime Forces, which aims to counter maritime threats in the 5th Fleet.
Last month, the guided-missile destroyer Momsen and a U.S. Coast Guard interdiction team seized $39 million worth of methamphetamine in the same waters off Oman. The Navy and Coast Guard were also operating under Combined Task Force 150.
