Authorities in Colombia have seized four tonnes of cocaine with an estimated street value of $145,000,000 from a submarine thought to have been heading to Central America.
Four men were arrested by members of the Colombian navy after officers intercepted the huge vessel in the Pacific Ocean on Sunday, February 6, around 70 miles from the Nariño port city of Tumaco, Colombia.
Footage taken from the bust was shared on Facebook this week, showing officers pointing a gun into the submarine and exploring inside the vessel, as well as hundreds of parcels of cocaine laid out on the floor.
The bust marked the biggest the navy has had in the past two years, and comes after Colombia launched a new strategy to fight drug trafficking that is aimed at controlling cyberspace to tackle criminal groups and block their financial transactions, according to Defence Minister Diego Molano.
