The Navy of Colombia in the course of an operation against drug traffickers who commit crimes in the Caribbean and jointly with the Colombian Air Force, they intercepted a boat Go Fast, manned by four individuals that went to Central America with more than 380 kilograms of cocaine hydrochloride.
The result was given by units of the Colombian Navy with the support of a Colombian Air Force aircraft who tracked a suspicious ship moving through the waters of the Colombian Caribbean, apparently transporting narcotic substances.
With the deployment of a Rapid Reaction Unit of the Santa Marta Coast Guard Station and an aircraft unit of the Colombian Navy, maritime interception was possible 4.2 nautical miles from Puerto Velero (Atlántico). Noticing the work of the authorities, the four individuals left an indeterminate amount of sacks in the sea.
The crew members of the Colombian Navy managed to recover 16 sacks inside, with 407 rectangular packages inside, were found by troops, which contained 386.4 kilograms of cocaine hydrochloride. The arrested personnel, including three Jamaican individuals and one Venezuelan, as well as the material were put into custody of the authorities.
This illegal merchandise would cost in the illegal international market, up to 13 billion dollars, a figure that thanks to the decisive operation of the Naval Force of the Caribbean will not enter the finances of drug trafficking organizations that commit crimes in the colombian Caribbean; in addition, this business will no longer market close to a million doses in the streets of the world.
