A narco submarine containing an astonishing £72million of cocaine and two dead bodies has been discovered off Colombia.

The Colombian Navy seized the 49ft-long vessel - which had more than 2.6 tons of cocaine on board - in the Pacific Ocean.

When searching the submarine on Sunday, authorities also found two survivors who were given life-saving medical attention on a nearby ship.

Video footage has captured the moment that officers unload the submarine, laying out a substantial amount of cocaine they had seized.

Can’t let cocaine compete with fentanyl. Good practice as well.

It’s not really a submarine, it’s a surface craft that is designed to run with most of its deck awash. Tricky business if the cargo suddenly shifts or you hit an unexpected current.

I don’t think that is a submarine but rather a semi-submersible. it doesn[t go all the way under but does go low enough in the water to show almost no radar signature. The three outboard motors are not submersible.

The market for cocaine is never going away (remember Coca-Cola?).

We should legalize the leaf for adult use and pay off the national debt.
