Coast Guard Seizes Cocaine at Port

Coast Guard and Homeland Security Investigations hit a major drug bust at the Port of Los Angeles, seizing 500 pounds of cocaine worth $6.4 million from the tanker Aquatravesia after a K-9 sniffed out the cargo. Three suspects were taken into custody, with one officially arrested, showcasing how agencies are teaming up to block drugs from entering via ports and transportation networks. Special Agent Eddy Wang called it a key victory in their mission to disrupt criminal organizations. This isn’t an isolated case — the Coast Guard alone has seized over 500,000 pounds of cocaine this year — part of a nationwide surge in counter-narcotics efforts targeting both ports and the southern border.
