Summary
The Mexican Navy discovered two tons of cocaine floating in the eastern Pacific Ocean, approximately 230 miles south-southwest of Acapulco. The cocaine was found in waterproof wrapping and was seized as part of the Navy’s maritime surveillance operations. The operation was led by the Navy, with assistance from the Attorney General’s Office and the Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection. This is one of several recent large drug seizures made by the Mexican Navy.
Our Reading
The habit of finding large quantities of cocaine in the ocean gets a new name.
The Mexican Navy’s maritime surveillance operations are like a treasure hunt, but instead of treasure, they find cocaine. Two tons of it, to be exact. The Navy’s efforts are a “direct and multi-million-dollar blow to the financial structures of organized crime.” Because, you know, finding cocaine in the ocean is just another day at the office.
The ocean is like a never-ending supply of illicit goods, and the Mexican Navy is just trying to keep up.
This is just another example of how the war on drugs is like a game of whack-a-mole.
The Mexican Navy’s efforts are a reminder that the ocean is a vast and mysterious place, full of secrets and surprises. Like, who knew there was so much cocaine just floating around?
