US Navy frigate CARR recovers $26M worth of cocaine in Pacific
Virginia-based US-Navy frigate US CARR has recovered about $26 million worth of cocaine that was thrown overboard by suspected drug smugglers in the eastern Pacific Ocean, Navy Times reports. The Navy says the guided-missile frigate Carr recovered more than 700 pounds of cocaine on Oct. 11. The Navy says a maritime patrol aircraft was sent to intercept a speed boat that was suspected of carrying the drugs. But during the pursuit the crew threw the drugs overboard and eventually escaped. The Carr then conducted a search to find the drugs. The Carr is currently deployed in support of Operation Martillo, a multi-nation effort to target drug-trafficking routes in coastal waters along the Central American isthmus.
