India, June 30 -- The U.S. Coast Guard seized more than $63 million worth of illicit drugs as a result of three interdictions in international waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean.
The crew aboard the Coast Guard cutter Bear offloaded approximately 7,720 pounds of cocaine and 4,000 pounds of marijuana at Port Everglades, Florida, last week, the Coast Guard said in a press release.
The crew detected a go-fast vessel on June 11, and the embarked Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron aircrew employed airborne use-of-force tactics. The Bear's boarding team interdicted and boarded the vessel, seizing approximately 4,000 pounds of marijuana.
