Colombian divers discovered more than 450 pounds of cocaine attached beneath a ship destined for Europe, marking a significant drug seizure.
Colombian Navy divers have seized over 450 pounds of suspected cocaine concealed beneath a merchant vessel preparing to depart for Europe. During an underwater inspection at a Pacific coast port, divers from the Buenaventura Coast Guard Station discovered seven sealed bags containing the narcotics. This operation follows a recent seizure of more than seven tons of drugs from two speedboats and a semi-submersible vessel, commonly known as a 'narco sub,' in the Pacific Ocean. The Colombian Navy continues to intensify its efforts against drug trafficking, targeting various methods employed by smugglers to transport illicit substances.
