WILLEMSTAD - Last night, the Maritime Operations Center of the Coast Guard (MOC) observed unusual navigation behavior at sea. This prompted the deployment of a 'Metal Shark' and a helicopter. Upon arrival, it was determined that it involved a 'Yola' boat, located between Klein Curaçao and Curaçao.
Upon return to the base, some fish were found. After a thorough investigation, several suspicious packages were discovered, containing over 218 kilograms of cocaine. The captain of the 'Yola' (a local man) was arrested and, along with the packages, handed over to the Curaçao Police Force. In the meantime, all packages have been destroyed. The involved boat has been confiscated.
