Coast Guard Offloads Extra Than $475 Million in Unlawful Narcotics in Miami Seashore – NBC 6 South Florida

The crew of the USCGC Legare offloaded an estimated $475 million dollars worth of illegal narcotic at the base Miami Beach Thursday.

Coast Guard and partner agency crews from the Netherlands seized approximately 24,700 pounds of cocaine and 3,892 pounds of marijuana in the Caribbean Sea, the agency said.

“I am proud of the crew’s continued devotion to duty that made this offload possible,” said Cdr. Jeremy M. Greenwood, commanding officer of Legare. “Through the coordinated efforts of the Legare, the LEDETs, HNLMS Groningen, CGC James, and The drugs seized through this coordinated effort will result in significantly fewer drug-related overdoses.”
