PARIS: French customs have seized more than 2.5 tons of cocaine off the French Caribbean island of Martinique in two separate anti-drug operations last week.
In the first operation, officials seized approximately 2.5 tons of drugs with an estimated street value of 100 million Euros ($107 million) from a sailboat off the island’s coast. The effort brought a two-year-long international investigation to a close.
The second, smaller-scale drug bust took place on Friday, when customs officers found a further 485 pounds of cocaine on board a Guyanese tugboat, in a joint operation carried out by France and the Joint Interagency Task Force South, a US agency specializing in multinational operations against drug trafficking.
