'Mohawk' returns after taking 5,000 kilos of cocaine off the water
Drug cartels are out close to $160 million in cocaine thanks to the work of the men and women of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Mohawk in the eastern Pacific Ocean over the past two months.
The Mohawk and its crew of around 100 returned to their home port of Coast Guard Sector Key West at Trumbo Road on Sunday after conducting counter-drug patrols off Central America as part of the Key West-based Joint Interagency Task Force South.
“We stopped a significant number of boats and sent a significant number of people to port and detained them for prosecution,” said Capt. Craig J. Wieschhorster, commanding officer of the Mohawk. “We took more than 5,000 kilograms of cocaine off the water.”
