A coastguard boat hunted down a fleeing vessel that was dumping packages into the water after being spotted by authorities.

The Uruguayan Coast Guard chased 14 vessels, which escaped to the Argentinian side of the border under suspicion of illegal fishing, smuggling, and drug trafficking.

Authorities reported that the chase lasted 45 minutes, beginning around 9 am on Thursday, March 20.

Dramatic footage captured by the maritime security force shows it pursuing one of the boats at high speed with its siren activated.

The suspects allegedly discarded several packages into the water, but none were recovered, and their contents remain unidentified.

Officials engaged four crafts while the remaining 10 reportedly fled into Argentinian waters.
