The Unit­ed States Coast Guard say the crew of its Cut­ter North­land on Wednes­day of­floaded ap­prox­i­mate­ly 2,220 pounds of co­caine and 3,320 pounds of mar­i­jua­na worth an es­ti­mat­ed US$20.1 mil­lion at Coast Guard Base Mi­a­mi Beach.

The US Coast Guard said the seized con­tra­band was the re­sult of four in­ter­dic­tions in the Caribbean Sea by the crews of HM­CS William Hall and HNLMS Fries­land with em­barked Coast Guard law en­force­ment de­tach­ments.

“Stop­ping harm­ful and il­lic­it nar­cotics from reach­ing our shores and en­ter­ing our com­mu­ni­ties is a team ef­fort,” said Com­man­der Bri­an Gis­mervik, Coast Guard Cut­ter North­land’s com­mand­ing of­fi­cer.
