Drug seizure bonanza: Newest Coast Guard Cutter has banner week of busts |
2017-04-01 |
[FOX] FORT LAUDERDALE – The US Coast Guard can barely offload the cocaine it intercepts at sea before drug runners load up their go-fast boats and head toward U.S. shores. This Tuesday, the crew of the Coast Guard’s newest Cutter, James, offloaded a record 16 tons of narcotic in Fort Lauderdale’s Port Everglades. Just two days later, the agency announced another cocaine bust, this time almost two tons near Puerto Rico. “We’re averaging about 12 of these per month,” said Coast Guard Capt. Kevin Gavin. “As I like to say, unfortunately business is very good for us and I wish it wasn’t.” |
