"Coast Guard Seizes $239 Million Worth of Cocaine in Massive Drug Busts"

The San Diego coast guard has intercepted over 18,000lbs of cocaine worth $239 million in six separate drug busts in just one month, with the largest seizure coming from a narco-submarine. The drugs were seized off the coasts of Mexico, Central America, and South America by two coast guard ships, the Waesche and Active. The Waesche, a national security cutter, seized over 5,500lbs of cocaine, while the Active brought home 4,000lbs of drugs. Overall, more than 40 tons of cocaine have been seized by the coast guard this year, making it the third most seized drug after marijuana and meth.
