“This important result was achieved thanks to a complete synergy between aircraft of the Colombian Navy and the Colombian Air Force, supported by an air platform of the United States Southern Command; who managed to identify and follow in detail a suspicious motor ship, which was sailing in the Caribbean Sea,” said the communication from the military institution.
He also assured that during the execution of the operation and once the vessel was located, the pursuit of the vessel for several miles with naval means began. This is how a rapid reaction unit of the San Andrés Coast Guard Station succeeded in banning the motorship 121 nautical miles off the coast of the Archipelago.

Following the events mentioned above, in coordination with members of the Technical Investigation Corps (CTI) of the Attorney General's Office, a Preliminary Approved Identification Test (PIPH) was carried out, which tested positive for cocaine hydrochloride weighing 3,382 kilograms.
It should be said that as much as the alkaloid, the five captured subjects and the immobilized vessel were placed at the disposal of officials of the Prosecutor's Office, an investigative body that will be responsible for carrying out the respective criminal and legal proceedings.
The military authority also announced that in the course of a naval military area registration and control operation in the municipality of Bajo Baudó, Chocó, nearly half a ton of cocaine hydrochloride belonging to the Gulf Clan Organized Armed Group was seized.
The events occurred when Marine Corps units attached to the Pacific Naval Force carried out control, surveillance and area security patrols, detecting a suspicious, unnamed vessel stranded on a beach approximately 5 nautical miles from the municipality of Playa Nueva, north of the municipality of Bajo Baudo.
“Upon arrival at the site, the troops inspected the motor ship, finding inside it 438 rectangular packages, which, when subjected to the Approved Preliminary Identification Tests by officials of the Technical Investigation Corps of the Office of the Prosecutor General of the Nation, returned positive for a total of 438 kilograms of cocaine hydrochloride. During the operation there were no catches, the material was made available to the competent authorities,” said the National Navy.
The seized cargo exceeds 14 million dollars in the international illegal market, “money that failed to enter the coffers of the Gulf Clan Organized Armed Group, strongly affecting its criminal capacity,” the Navy said.
