CBP Intercepts Vessel North of Puerto Rico With More Than $1 Million in Cocaine, Detains Four Dominican Nationals
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced on November 2 that its Air and Marine Operations (AMO) component intercepted a vessel north of Puerto Rico in the early hours of October 29, seizing more than $1 million worth of cocaine and detaining four nationals of the Dominican Republic.
Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory in the Caribbean, and AMO is CBP's operational component for air and maritime border enforcement, patrolling the region for drug-smuggling vessels and aircraft. CBP's summary did not disclose the weight of the cocaine seized, nor the names of the four people detained or what happened to them next.
The release was circulated again on November 10 through a CBP newsroom update, with the same content as the November 2 announcement.
