PORT EVERGLADES, FLA. (WSVN) - The U.S. Coast Guard is preparing to mark a major milestone.
Officials said they will offload more than 76,000 pounds of cocaine at Port Everglades on Monday morning, the biggest haul in the Coast Guard’s history.
The operation spanned across the eastern Pacific and Caribbean Sea.
Just two weeks ago, more than 1,600 pounds of marijuana was seized from a boat off the Coast of Haiti as part of the operation.
The previous record-setter was in 2021 when nearly 60,000 pounds of cocaine and roughly 1,400 pounds of marijuana was offload from the US Coast Guard Cutter James, all worth a street value of $1.4 billion.
Most recently, on July 29, USCG crews offloaded nearly 10,000 pounds of cocaine, also at Port Everglades. That haul was said to be worth nearly $75 million.
