The Mexican navy has announced the seizure of some 1.5 tonnes of “presumed” cocaine off the Pacific coast of southern Mexico.
The Ministry of the Navy (SEMAR) said in a statement on Wednesday that navy personnel found 45 packages of “presumed” cocaine adrift in the Pacific Ocean 170 nautical miles south of Acapulco, Guerrero.
Each package contained 30 “bricks” of “white powder with characteristics similar to cocaine,” SEMAR said.
The 45 packages had an estimated weight of 1,500 kilograms, the ministry said.
