The submarine was seized around 47 miles from the port of Tumaco on the Pacific, where it was initially detected moving at a high speed. The officers boarded the vessel and found 26 sacks containing 1,030 packs of cocaine weighing a total of about a ton.

As for the submarine itself, authorities set the submarine’s price tag at about $1.2 million. The vessel, capable of holding up to 3 tons of cocaine, was fitted with a GPS to help it reach its destination.

Authorities said that while much of the drug production in Narino had previously been carried out by the Sinaloa Cartel, which was formerly led by drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, that had now changed to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. The drug was reportedly produced and trafficked by E-30, a dissident group from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, guerrillas who fought the Colombian Army for decades until a peace agreement in 2016.
