Fox News
The U.S. Coast Guard announced it has unloaded approximately 33,768 pounds of cocaine in San Diego, California after seizing the illegal drugs from eight different suspected drug smuggling vessels.
Sarah Rumpf-Whitten is a breaking news writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
Coast Guard Cutter Monro Captain Rula Deisher said that the seizure of the cocaine is a testament of his crew's "dedication and grit." She is a native of Massachusetts and is based in Orlando, Florida.
"The crew put in an incredible amount of work over very long hours, and I couldn’t be prouder of them," Deishe said in a news release. "Their dedication and grit goes to show that Munro is one of the best national security cutters in the fleet, and we are committed to keeping the country safe by stopping illegal drugs before they hit the street."
