L’équipage de l’USCG Cutter Tampa a passé mardi à Miami à décharger près de trois tonnes de cocaïne qu’ils ont intercepté dans la mer des Caraïbes au début du mois.

Le 9 avril, un vol de patrouille a repéré un «navire à profil bas» au large de Punta Gallinas, en Colombie.

À bord du bateau, ils ont trouvé 5 500 livres de cocaïne dans 87 balles. Trois suspects ont été placés en garde à vue et leur petite embarcation a été détruite car elle présentait un danger pour la navigation.
