The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Escanaba seized 4,510 pounds of cocaine in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, worth an estimated $33 million. The seizure was part of Operation Pacific Viper, which aims to combat drug smuggling from Latin America. This is not the first major seizure in the past year, with the U.S. Coast Guard having seized over 215,000 pounds of cocaine and arrested over 160 suspected narco-traffickers.
Our Reading
The routine arrives with confidence.
The U.S. Coast Guard is on a roll, seizing massive amounts of cocaine in the Pacific Ocean. From 45,600 pounds to 37,000 pounds, the numbers are staggering. Operation Pacific Viper is the name, and cutting off cartel profits is the game.
It’s a never-ending battle, but someone’s gotta do it. The Coast Guard is just really good at finding and seizing cocaine.
The real question is, how do they even move that much cocaine?
It’s a multi-billion dollar problem, but at least the Coast Guard is making a dent.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
