ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- It's an almost unimaginable drug seizure - but real nonetheless: Coast Guard crews confiscated a ton of cocaine off the west coast of Florida this week.
The massive bust was valued at an estimated $23 million and offloaded in St. Petersburg on Monday.
The drugs, packaged in 30 bales, were seized from a go-fast boat on Nov. 11 in the Caribbean Sea just south of Jaragua, Dominican Republic, the Coast Guard said. T
Three suspected smugglers were taken into custody.
