Cartagena Drugs Bust

In a combined operation between the National Police and the tax office, a boat has been seized off the coast of Cartagena carrying 2,000 kilos of hashish.

The officers became aware of a boat some 15 nautical miles off the coast of Cartagena, which was not moving in a normal manner. Upon dispatching a unit to investigate, the officers found the boat was carrying 65 bales of the drug, weighing in at 2,060 kilograms.

The three crew members on board were promptly arrested and brought to the port of Cartagena, along with the boat.
