The United States Coast Guard says the crew of its Cutter Venturous on Friday offloaded at Coast Guard Base Miami Beach about 5,300 pounds of cocaine and marijuana, worth an estimated US $14.1 million, interdicted in the Caribbean Sea.
The US Coast Guard said the seized contraband was the result of four interdictions in the Caribbean Sea by the crews of USCGC Diligence and HNLMS Groningen, with an embarked Coast Guard law enforcement detachment.
“Stopping harmful and illicit narcotics from reaching our shores and entering our communities is a team effort,” said Commander Karen Kutkiewicz, Venturous’ commanding officer.
