Colombian Divers Uncover Massive Cocaine Stash Beneath Ship En Route to Europe

Colombian divers have made a substantial drug bust, discovering a large quantity of cocaine hidden beneath a ship destined for Europe. According to the Colombian navy, this operation was conducted at a Pacific port.

As part of a routine inspection, naval personnel conducted an underwater examination of a commercial vessel aimed at European shores. This led to the successful seizure of over 450 pounds of suspected cocaine.

The dive team from the Buenaventura Coast Guard Station identified and retrieved seven suspiciously sealed bags containing the illegal substance.

The navy shared visuals of the operation, showing divers collecting the narcotics and displaying them onshore.

This event follows a significant bust just days earlier, where over seven tons of drugs were confiscated from two speedboats and a semi-submersible watercraft, also located in the Pacific.

Intensified Efforts Against Drug Trafficking

Visual documentation was provided showing packages aboard one of the seized vessels and alleged criminals being detained.

The broader effort highlights Colombia's ongoing battle against drug cartels and trafficking operations in the region.
