Image description

Armed U.S. Customs officers stand watch over 10,000 pounds of cocaine at the U.S. Coast Guard base in Miami Beach June 8. The drugs, packaged in two hundred bales, weighing fifty pounds each, were found in the cargo hold of the Panamanian-registered merchant vessel, the Castor (background). The bust was made May 31 just north of Isla Margarita after the British frigate HMS Marlborough, taking part in a British-American operation to fight drug smuggling in the Caribbean, stopped the ship. Customs officials say the cocaine seized has a wholesale value of $68 million. CB/ZDC/ME
