Coast Guard crew makes historic cocaine bust

A Coast Guard crew from Northern California seized 12,000 pounds of cocaine from a vessel off the Central America coast — the largest bust of its kind in Coast Guard history.
The crew of the cutter Stratton also apprehended four suspected smugglers. The drugs are valued at $181 million.
The bust was made about 200 miles south of Mexico last month, officials said. It was not announced until Wednesday. The names of the suspects were not released.
