Navy seizes more than five tonnes of cocaine in Colombian Caribbean
Units of the National Navy achieved the confiscation of a considerable quantity of narcotics in the Colombian Caribbean region. The operation resulted in the seizure of more than five tonnes of cocaine that was intended to be transported to Central American territory.
The military operation represents a significant blow to narcotrafficking structures that use Caribbean maritime routes for the shipment of alkaloids. Naval authorities continue with patrol and control operations in areas with the highest incidence of drug trafficking.
This type of action is part of the Colombian state's strategy to combat micro-trafficking and narcotrafficking in national territory and its adjacent maritime zones. The seizure adds to results obtained during the present year in the fight against illicit trafficking of psychoactive substances.
The seized narcotics were handed over to the competent authorities for corresponding judicial proceedings. The operation demonstrates the commitment of the military forces to protecting national sovereignty and combating transnational organised crime.
