JACKSONVILLE, Fla. —A Florida-based United States Coast Guard crew busted a submarine that was carrying about 12,000 pounds of cocaine, officials said.
The Coast Guard Cutter Valiant crew intercepted the sub while on routine patrol in the eastern Pacific after it was initially spotted from the air.
Coast Guard crews boarded the sub when it was in international waters and said they found 12,000 pounds of cocaine that is worth more than $165 million. Four suspected drug smugglers were apprehended, officials said.
About 1,100 pounds of the cocaine were offloaded, but due to safety concerns the remainder was not.
