FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - The Coast Guard says it unloaded
$100 million worth of cocaine at Port Everglades after seizing
3,200 pounds of the drug during a patrol of the western Caribbean.
The Coast Guard says it spotted suspected drug smugglers in a
speedboat March 18 and began to chase them.
The alleged smugglers began dumping bales overboard as they fled
a Coast Guard helicopter, which fired warning shots at the vessel.
The speedboat eluded capture, but 50 bales of cocaine were
recovered.
In 2007, the Coast Guard crews seized a record $4.7 billion
worth of cocaine.
