Coast Guard's Colossal Cocaine Capture 9 Tons Worth $239M

Coast Guard's Colossal Cocaine Capture 18 9 Tons Worth $239M Reeled in Off San Diego Shores
December 6, 2023 - Hoodline

The U.S. Coast Guard is expected to dock in San Diego with a massive catch of contraband—a whopping 18,219 pounds of cocaine, said to be worth north of $239 million on the street. The stash comes courtesy of high-seas busts in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, spotlighting the ongoing battle against drug cartels and the narcotics pipeline.

This huge pile of drugs, nabbed in six separate interdictions by the crews of Coast Guard Cutters Waesche and Active, was pulled from the briny deep in November, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. The busts underline the heavy presence and continuous pressure put on drug traffickers by U.S. forces. The Coast Guard Cutter Waesche, hailing from Alameda, California, was responsible for the lion's share of the haul, seizing 14,350 pounds of the white powder. At the same time, the Active, based in Port Angeles, Washington, snagged 3,869 pounds.

Today's offload at the 10th Avenue Marine Terminal is set to draw Vice Adm. Andrew Tiongson, bigwig of the Pacific Area operations, alongside various other heads of agencies, showcasing the cross-department collaboration involving Defense, Justice, and Homeland Security in the war on drugs. Together, these groups form a united front working to scupper the plans of transnational organized criminals.


* Mod edit: Corrected headline to read 9 tons, not 18. Thanks, Dr. Funtime.

Haha! You are correct. 18,000 lbs is 9 tons not 18. I missed that, will make correction.

Last year, Colombian farmers like Tapia produced 422,550 acres of coca, the largest coca crop in Colombia's history, according to a United Nations survey released last month. That's enough to make about 1,500 tons of cocaine, the report said.

So they catch 100 tons each year globally, and the other 1400 tons gets through.  With about a 7% success rate, it's just insane they keep this drug war farce up.

The cartels are kicking the government's ass.  Cocaine is cheaper, available, and more pure than ever.
