Canadian navy helps in huge coke seizure

A Royal Canadian Navy vessel was involved in an international antidrug trafficking mission that led to the seizure of more than 14 tonnes of cocaine in international waters along the coasts of Central and South America.

The U.S. Coast Guard said Tuesday the drugs were seized in 17 different raids over a period of 26 days.

The HMCS Saskatoon joined the U.S.-lead multinational operation in February, which is aimed at intercepting illicit trafficking in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean.
