Covert Drug Smuggler Submarine

Drug Smuggler Submarine

In September 2008, the U.S. Coast Guard seized a 59-foot submarine 370 miles SW of Guatemala.  The submarine contained four crew members and 237 (!) bales of cocaine.

An anomaly?  No, because less than a week alter, another 60 footer was seized.

Between the two submersibles about seven tons of coke worth nearly $200 million was seized.

These subs are built in the jungles of Guatemala and then trucked over to the coast.  The subs can range over 5,000 miles.
