The US Coast Guard offloaded seized drugs worth USD 88 million in Florida.

The haul was the result of three separate interdictions in the eastern Pacific Ocean, carried out by the crew of the USCGC Escanaba, members of the Pacific Area Tactical Law Enforcement Team, and an embarked Coast Guard Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron aircrew.

Footage shows the crew offloading approximately 11,922 lbs of cocaine, sealed in large boxes, at Port Everglades on Tuesday, August 5.

Petty Officer Third Class Nadia Sands, an Operations Specialist in the cutter's Combat Information Centre, said: 'The professionalism and cohesiveness of our team on board were the biggest contributors to our operational successes.

'This crew and command routinely embody the spirit of 'One Team, One Dream' and that spirit will continue to drive us to achieve our goals of protecting our borders and countering transnational criminal actors in the region.'
