Federal agents on Wednesday seized $33 million worth of cocaine aboard a boat that was trying to smuggle the drug into the tiny Puerto Rican island of Vieques, officials said, marking at least the third major bust in the U.S. territory since July.
More than 3,600 pounds were confiscated in the pre-dawn hours after unidentified people aboard the boat beached it and fled the area, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Vieques is located just east of Puerto Rico and is a popular tourist destination.
