The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) says they have intercepted over $20 million worth of cocaine and marijuana from alleged drug traffickers.

Approximately 2,220 pounds of cocaine and 3,320 pounds of marijuana were offloaded Wednesday at Coast Guard Base Miami Beach, the USCG said in a media release.  

“Stopping harmful and illicit narcotics from reaching our shores and entering our communities is a team effort,” Cmdr. Brian Gismervik, Coast Guard Cutter Northland’s commanding officer, said in a statement.

“In the dynamic maritime environment, it takes the combined efforts of our joint force DoD, DHS, and international partners to combat transnational criminal organizations,” he concluded.
