US Coast Guard Seizes Over $85M In Illegal Drugs During Caribbean Sea Operations

The United States Coast Guard Cutter Confidence crew returned to their homeport in Cape Canaveral on September 20 after seizing illegal drugs valued at over $85 million in the Caribbean Sea.

The seizures occurred during a 62-day Caribbean sea deployment.

According to the Coast Guard, Confidence’s crew conducted four separate drug cases within four days.

The crew prosecuted an additional case while returning to homeport.

The Coast Guard said the five interdictions resulted in the apprehension of 15 suspected narco-traffickers and prevented the flow of over 6,000 pounds of illicit substances from reaching the United States.

The Confidence crew worked with air and sea assets from partner agencies, allied militaries, and other Coast Guard units in the anti-drug operations.

They transferred the seized drugs in Miami to partner law enforcement agencies during the Coast Guard cutter’s transit home.

  1. Total bullshit. All these are just photo ops to make people believe that they are doing something when they know for a fact the US big wigs who are controlling the narco market.

  2. If the powder could talk it would say that it’s headed right back to the streets. Directly or indirectly. Too much money being made, to be made and demand so high that it is just too hard to stop it. Can’t stop
