The Brazilian Navy mentioned on Tuesday that it had reportedly seized about 3.6 metric tons of cocaine on a vessel off the state of northeastern Pernambuco coast in Brazil’s single offshore capture of the drug.
In a statement, the Navy mentioned that it had captured a small motorboat used for transporting individuals and cargo along the coast with five crew members heading toward Africa. A patrol vessel towed the vessel to the port based in Recife.
