Submarine Loaded With Cocaine Busted

“Colombian drug dealers sick of getting busted by law enforcement have come up with numerous ways to transport their contraband to foreign shores. They used automobiles with secret compartments, human drug “mules,” high-speed aircraft and boats. Now, they’re trying their luck with submarines. One of these special drug subs was caught 175 miles off the coast of Guatemala carrying more than 10 tons of cocaine, the BBC reports. This is the largest drug booty Guatemalan officials have ever seized. After Colombian authorities tipped off the DEA and Guatemalan law enforcement, ships were ordered to intercept. Their mission then became “The Hunt For White October.” w/ photos
