U.S. Coast Guard announced that its Cutter Bear’s crew offloaded approximately 7,720 pounds of cocaine and 4,000 pounds of marijuana worth more than $63 million at Port Everglades on Friday. The seized contraband was the result of three interdictions between June 11-13 in international waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean. The first day, Bear’s crew detected and boarded a go-fast vessel, seizing approximately 4,000 pounds of marijuana. On the second day, the Coast Guard detected two vessels and seized about 7.660 pounds of cocaine. And then on June 13, they recovered 60 pounds of cocaine.
