Authorities in Colombia seized over 6 tons of cocaine in a narco-submarine.
The 6 tons of cocaine are valued at over $300 million USD.
The Colombian Navy intercepted the submarine off the country’s Pacific coast and later found a cocaine stash buried underground near where the submarine was heading.
A Colombian Navy spokesperson stated, “The national navy reaffirms its commitment in the fight against drug trafficking and will continue to develop massive operations against organized armed groups.”

Officials released video of the narco sub being intercepted off the country’s Pacific coast, as well as video showing officers and a sniffer dog locating stashes of cocaine that were buried underground. The navy also released an image of more than 100 packages of the alleged narcotics laid out on the shore next to a military boat.
Officials said the street value of the seized cocaine was estimated to be about $300 million.
The navy said the narcotics were intercepted in Narino, a region on the Pacific coast of Colombia bordering Ecuador. They did not say how many people were arrested or where they believe the haul of drugs on the semi-submersible was headed.
Officials said 3,000 kilograms of cocaine was seized at sea while 270 kilograms of cocaine was unearthed from the buried hiding spots.
“The national navy reaffirms its commitment in the fight against drug trafficking and will continue to develop massive operations against organized armed groups,” a navy spokesman said.
