Miami, FL, United States (AHN) – The Coast Guard discovered nearly 800 pounds of marijuana in a boat traveling from the Bahamas over the weekend.
A 20-foot U.S.-flagged boat was stopped around midnight Saturday after authorities received reports of a suspicious vessel making its way west from Bimini. Inspectors found 47 bricks of marijuana worth about $725,000 on the boat.
Two people on the vessel were detained and turned over to Customs and Border Protection officers on suspicion of smuggling. The drugs and the vessel were also transferred to customs and border officers.
