Cocaine shipment to U.S via submarine

   

A drug-carrying submarine has been intercepted by U.S authorities off the coast of Central America. The submarine was carrying cocaine worth an estimated US$352 million. The semi-submersible vessel had been spotted by a surveillance plane, flying off the Mexico-Guatemala border, which guided a U.S Navy ship to the scene. As the ship arrived, four suspected drug smugglers sank the vessel along with the bulk of its cargo. The suspects and 11 bales of cocaine weighing around 548 kilograms were eventually recovered from the scene.
