Mexican Navy Captures Mini-Submarine With One Ton Of Cocaine

The Mexican Navy (Semar) captured a mini-submarine from South America loaded with one ton of cocaine and arrested its four crew members (two Ecuadorians and two Nicaraguans) as the vessel began to sink.

This is the fifth capture of a mini-submarine by the Mexican Navy since the year 2000 off the Pacific coast, although it was not highlighted or publicized by the Semar on the dates on which its head, Admiral Rafael Ojeda Durán, assures that the seizure took place, between December 6 and 9.

In other alternate operations carried out on those dates and on December 15, the Mexican Navy also secured two boats loaded with drugs and refueling on their route to the north of the country.

The seizure of the drugs was announced by the Secretary of the Navy during the morning conference on Tuesday, December 20 at the National Palace, where the members of the security cabinet reported on what had been achieved between December 6 and 19.
