YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAn estimated $312 million worth of cocaine seized from smugglers in the eastern Pacific Ocean has been brought to San Diego.
About 18,000 pounds (8,165 kilograms) of the drug was offloaded Wednesday from the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Bertholf.
The huge haul resulted from interdictions by the crews of five cutters between mid-October and early December, the Coast Guard said.
"This is hard, dangerous work for these crews to actually gain access and control of those vessels, and then there's a lot of just hard labor to get all of these narcotics off of those small boats," said US Coast Guard Vice Adm. Linda Fagan.
The Navy, federal agencies and international partners were also involved in the counter-drug operations.
