The packages later tested positive for cocaine, the Coast Guard said. The illicit drugs were transferred to Homeland Security agents in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and weighed a combined 2,083 pounds \u2014 worth about $13.3 million.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/02\/19\/e82a4415-97f2-46e5-a9a6-6117a42bc512\/thumbnail\/620x433\/de79f42d54e9dbbc5a40d1d8dc189ea0\/screenshot-2026-02-19-at-9-32-07-am.png#\" alt=\"screenshot-2026-02-19-at-9-32-07-am.png \" height=\"433\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/02\/19\/e82a4415-97f2-46e5-a9a6-6117a42bc512\/thumbnail\/620x433\/de79f42d54e9dbbc5a40d1d8dc189ea0\/screenshot-2026-02-19-at-9-32-07-am.png 1x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Coast Guard and partner agencies offload drugs seized off Camuy, Puerto Rico, Feb. 13, 2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                U.S. Coast Guard<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The abandoned boat was later found ashore near Arecibo, Puerto Rico, by U.S. Border Patrol agents.
