Colombian and Ecuadorian authorities discovered a 50-foot long submarine carrying over 4 tons of cocaine off the Pacific coast of Colombia.
The illicit vessel, dubbed a “narco sub,” was intercepted during a search for two missing fishermen.
The Colombian Navy stated, “With this seizure, the entry of more than $137 million into drug trafficking organizations was prevented, as well as the marketing of more than 10 million doses on the streets of the world.”
Four individuals aboard the submarine were arrested. Officials said seizing the 4.5 tons of cocaine, valued at over $137 million, prevented it from reaching drug trafficking organizations and being sold as over 10 million doses worldwide.
