TL;DR Summary

The Colombian Navy intercepted a 15m-long "narco-sub" carrying almost 800kg of cocaine, including parcels stamped with a scorpion symbol, estimated to be worth $27m. Three individuals on board were arrested, and the sub was believed to be en route to the US or Europe. Narco-subs are a popular method for transporting drugs due to their ability to go undetected, and Colombia is the world's largest producer of cocaine. This interception comes amid record cocaine production in Colombia and increased drug seizures in Europe.
