2024年9月9日，美国海岸警卫队“Cutter Diligence”号船员在佛罗里达州埃弗格莱兹港卸载了价值5400万美元的4125磅可卡因。

这些非法麻醉品是与机构间和国际伙伴合作在加勒比海国际水域进行的三次单独拦截中缴获的。

联合合作涉及多个资产，包括皇家海军舰艇HMS Trent（P 244）、美国海岸警卫队Cutter Joseph Napier (WPC 1115)、美国海关和边境保护局空中和海上行动部（CBP-AMO）、太平洋海岸警卫队战术执法队（PAC-TACLET）和南部联合机构间特遣部队。

除了截获非法毒品外，11名涉嫌走私者已被逮捕，并将在联邦法院面临美国司法部的起诉。

拘留和扣押是有组织犯罪缉毒特遣部队打击部队行动的一部分，其目的是破坏威胁美国的高级犯罪组织。

海岸警卫队巡逻舰约瑟夫·纳皮尔(Joseph Napier)的指挥官马修·卡迈恩(Matthew Carmine)中尉赞扬了船员在他所说的“复杂的禁毒任务”中的“坚韧和专业精神”。

他还强调，需要与海岸警卫队机组人员、外国盟友和伙伴机构协调，打击贩毒组织，确保波多黎各和美属维尔京群岛的安全。

在公海上查找和逮捕贩毒者的任务需要机构间和国际间的重大协调。

总部设在佛罗里达州基韦斯特的南方联合机构间特遣部队(JIATF-South)负责跟踪和监测空中和海上毒品运输。

当拦截即将发生时，控制权交给总部位于迈阿密的美国海岸警卫队第七区，该部门负责行动的执法阶段。

英文原文

The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Diligence crew offloaded over 4,125 pounds of ***e worth $54 million in Port Everglades, Florida, on September 9, 2024.



The illegal ***s were seized in international waters of the Caribbean Sea during three separate interdictions in cooperation with interagency and international partners.



The joint cooperation involved multiple assets, including the Royal Navy ship HMS Trent (P 244), the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Joseph Napier (WPC 1115), U.S. Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Operations (CBP-AMO), the U.S. Coast Guard Tactical Law Enforcement Team Pacific (PAC-TACLET), and the Joint Interagency Task Force South.



Apart from the illegal ***s interception, 11 suspected smugglers have been arrested and will face prosecution in federal courts by the U.S. Department of Justice.



The detention and seizure are part of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) Strike Force Initiatives, which aim to disrupt the high-level criminal organizations that threaten the United States.



Lieutenant Matthew Carmine, commanding officer of the Coast Guard Cutter Joseph Napier, praised the crew’s “tenacity and professionalism” during what he described as a “complex counter-drug mission.”



He also highlighted the need to coordinate with Coast Guard aircrews, foreign allies, and partner agencies to deal with drug trafficking organizations and ensure the safety of Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.



The mission to locate and arrest drug traffickers on the high seas requires major interagency and international coordination.



The Joint Interagency Task Force South (JIATF-South), based in Key West, Florida, is in charge of tracking and monitoring aerial and maritime drug transits.



When interdiction is about to happen, control is given to the United States Coast Guard’s Seventh District, headquartered in Miami, which is in charge of the operation’s law enforcement phase.
