Coast Guard offloads over $12 million in illicit drugs interdicted in Caribbean Sea
Bales of illicit drugs worth more than $12 million are stacked on a pier during a drug offload from USCGC Tampa (WMEC 902) at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, April 30, 2025. The seized contraband was the result of two interdictions in the Caribbean Sea by the crew of USS Minneapolis-Saint Paul and their embarked Navy helicopter and Coast Guard law enforcement detachments.
