Working in conjunction with other U.S. law enforcement agencies as well as their counterparts in the other countries, the Coast Guard Cutter James crew was able to intercept 15 drug smuggling vessels in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, according to a press release from the U.S. Coast Guard.

'It takes a network to defeat a network, and we will continue to expand our capabilities and leverage these partnerships to amplify our impact and stop this illegal trade which threatens our national security and breads instability in our partner nations,' said Capt. Jeffrey Randall, commanding officer of the Cutter James.

The third largest seizure, led by the Coast Guard Cutter Spencer, decommissioned nearly 4,497 pounds of cocaine from a smuggling boat.

A separate transnational search led by the Coast Guard Cutter Active captured two cases carrying 3,148 pounds.

The operation, which included the participation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Agency, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, led to the arrest of 49 people, according to Navy Times.

The Coast Guard had previously delivered 39 tons of seized cocaine to Port Everglades on five different occasions from February to September which carried a staggering street value of $1.151billion, the Sun Sentinel reported.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
