Following a pursuit, three suspects were detained and more than 1,800 pounds of cocaine were found on board.<\/p>\n<p>Police said federal authorities are taking over the case.<\/p>\n<p>It is one of the biggest seizures in Puerto Rican waters in recent years. The U.S. territory has long served as a transit point for drugs being smuggled into the U.S. mainland and Europe.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-facebook-post embed--float-none embed--size-medium lazyload\" data-require=\"third-party\/facebook-sdk\">\n<\/figure>\n<p>There have been several large drug seizures in Puerto Rico in the last few months alone.

That haul was worth approximately $1.7 million, the agency said.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, in January, CBP agents said their crews worked with the U.S. Coast Guard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/newsroom\/local-media-release\/coast-guard-cbp-marine-unit-arrest-alien-and-seized-10-bales-cocaine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">to seize 10 bales<\/a> of suspected cocaine off the coast of Puerto Rico, after receiving reports of suspicious activity involving two vessels in that area. The bales weighed nearly 780 pounds and were estimated to have a street value of more than $5 million altogether.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of last year, CBP said its officers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/newsroom\/local-media-release\/cbp-seizes-935-pounds-cocaine-concealed-cargo-trailer-chassis-san-juan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">seized almost 1,000 pounds of cocaine<\/a> from a cargo trailer, also in San Juan.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"component__item-recirc-block\">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">Go deeper with The Free Press<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/police-find-12-million-cocaine-smuggling-boat-puerto-rico\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authorities in Puerto Rico on Monday seized cocaine worth an estimated $12 million off the island&#8217;s north coast.
