2 "narco subs" loaded with nearly 5 tons of cocaine seized in the Pacific Ocean off Colombia

Authorities seized two semisubmersible vessels loaded with nearly 5 tons of cocaine last weekend off the Pacific coast of Colombia, the nation's navy announced. The "narco subs" were intercepted during a joint operation by the country's navy and coast guard, officials said in a statement Sunday.

Authorities said the two vessels carrying 4.9 tons of cocaine toward Central America were intercepted in the South Pacific. Six suspects were arrested.

Officials released four images from the operation, including one that showed stacked packages of the alleged drugs laid out on the ground and another that appeared to show suspects surrendering on a semisubmersible.
