Mexican authorities are reporting that a makeshift submarine full of cocaine was seized in their waters:

“A navy plane spotted the craft about 140 miles south of the tourist resort of Huatulco, setting off a three-hour chase. The green-colored submarine, carrying what was believed to be cocaine, was about 32 feet long and appeared to be a makeshift or modified vessel.”

Authorities arrested four Colombian crew members who claimed to be fishermen. They were apparently threatened by drug cartels to move the cargo from the Colombian port of Buenaventura about a week ago. The total amount of cocaine seized was 5.8 tons. A few Colombian drug lords must not be happy campers right now.
