Another shipment that does not make it to the US.
The Coast Guard in Florida has seized about $93 million worth of cocaine during two separate operations off the coasts of Colombia and Panama.
Coast Guard Officer Joshua McElhaney says that once the smugglers “spotted the plane, they changed course which is suspicious for us. We asked them some questions and something of their information didn’t add up.”
The seizures are part of Operation Martillo, aimed at countering smuggling from Central America.
