Bogota - Colombian authorities seized a homemade submarine allegedly used by drug traffickers for smuggling in Pacific waters in the north-western Choco province on the Panamanian border.
‘This type of boat had a capacity to transport approximately four tonnes of cocaine hydrochloride in its interior,’ the Colombian Navy said in a statement Wednesday.
The vessel is the third submarine seized by Colombian authorities on the Pacific coast.
The Navy noted that four people were arrested, and the authorities also seized a radio, a portable energy generator and other elements.
According to the official source, drug gangs have used this and other methods to transport illegal substances to destinations in Central and North America.
