Nearly 1,500 pounds of marijuana and methamphetamine were intercepted by maritime law enforcement agents in separate incidents off the coast of San Diego County over the weekend, the agency announced on Tuesday.
The drugs were seized within a 14-hour period from two suspected smuggling boats by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents working with the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG).
CBP said the first panga was spotted in the middle of the night on Saturday heading north along the coast of San Diego. USCG attempted to stop the 28-foot vessel that was driving in the dark with no headlights, but the boat did not stop. Instead, it "aggressively" rammed the backside of the USCG cutter, CBP said.
