Watch Colombian Navy seize $113m of cocaine in dramatic Caribbean speedboat chase

Aerial video shows the Colombian Navy involved in a speedboat chase spanning several miles today (27 March).

Officers managed to stop the boat, which turned out to have more than three tons of cocaine on board.

The drug haul, estimated to have a market value of $113 million, is the largest intercepted by Colombian authorities in 2024.

Footage also depicts dozens of officers removing the cocaine from the speedboat, which seemed to cover an entire loading bay.

Colombian authorities intercepted the vessel in the Caribbean, close to San Andreas island.
