TL;DR Summary

Colombian navy intercepted a semi-submersible vessel carrying nearly 1,000 packages of cocaine worth about $33 million in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Colombia. The vessel was carrying navigation and communications equipment and was headed to Central America. The seizure kept about 2.5 million doses of illegal drugs off the market. This is the second "narco sub" seized in the same region in a week. "Narco subs" are commonly used by traffickers in Central and South America to transport drugs.
