美国海岸警卫队周四表示，波多黎各近海一艘驳船上发现一名藏有超过500磅可卡因和一把枪支的偷渡者，这是今年当局在同一港口拘留一名携大量毒品偷渡者的第二起案件。
官员们在一份新闻稿中表示，两艘海岸警卫队巡逻舰的船员与国土安全特遣队联手，于周二登上“克里姆森克拉弗”号驳船后逮捕了这名偷渡者。行动期间，执法人员发现了一名携带有一把枪支和9包可卡因的偷渡者，可卡因总重约237.75公斤，即约524磅。
美国海岸警卫队“艾萨克·梅奥”号巡逻舰随后在圣胡安海岸警卫队基地与执法伙伴会合，接管了这名涉嫌毒品走私者、枪支和可卡因，这些毒品估计街头价值达480万美元。当局尚未确认嫌疑人身份。
海岸警卫队公布了驳船、涉事毒品以及执法人员将可卡因包运上岸的照片。

“经验丰富的团队和可用资源共同促成了安全登船，并在驳船上查获了可卡因，这进一步震慑了走私组织，使其不敢利用 incoming商业船只在我们负责区域内开展人口和毒品贩运活动，”海军少校罗斯·马克汉姆在一份声明中说道。
此次逮捕和缉获行动正值美国加大针对加勒比海和东太平洋毒品贩运和人口走私的打击力度之际。除了海岸警卫队在公海例行拦截 narcotics之外，特朗普政府还持续开展了为期数月的针对疑似运毒船只的军事打击行动，造成200多人死亡。
今年2月，一名偷渡者被指在波多黎各某港口漂浮时被发现，当时其携带有789磅可卡因，随后被逮捕。海岸警卫队从水中救起了这名嫌疑人，同时还缴获了10包用棕色包装袋包裹的违禁品。
在此之后的一个月，当局在该岛北海岸近海的一艘船只上查获了价值约1200万美元的可卡因。
Stowaway with 524 pounds of cocaine and a gun found on barge off Puerto Rico, Coast Guard says

A stowaway with more than 500 pounds of cocaine and a gun was found on board a barge off the coast of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Coast Guard said Thursday, marking the second time this year that authorities detained a stowaway holding a huge stash of drugs in the same harbor.
Crewmembers from two Coast Guard Cutters joined forces with a Homeland Security task force to apprehend the stowaway after boarding the Crimson Clover barge in the San Juan Harbor on Tuesday, officials said in a news release. During the operation, officers located a stowaway who was in possession of a firearm and nine bales of cocaine weighing approximately 237.75 kilograms, or about 524 pounds.
The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Isaac Mayo later met with law enforcement partners at Coast Guard Base San Juan, and took custody of the alleged drug smuggler, the weapon and the cocaine, which was estimated to have a street value of $4.8 million. Authorities have not identified the suspect.
The Coast Guard released images of the barge, the alleged drugs and officers hauling the bales onto the shore.

“A collective pool of experience and available assets led to a safe boarding and a discovery of cocaine aboard the barge, which further deters smuggling organizations from exploiting incoming commercial vessels to conduct human and drug trafficking activities within our area of responsibility,” Lt. Cmdr. Ross Markham said in a statement.
The arrest and seizure comes amid ramped up efforts by the U.S. to target drug trafficking and human smuggling in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean. In addition to routine Coast Guard interceptions of narcotics on the open seas, the Trump administration has continued a monthslong campaign of military strikes on alleged drug-running boats, killing more than 200 people.
In February, a stowaway was arrested after he was allegedly found floating in a Puerto Rican harbor with 789 pounds of cocaine.The Coast Guard recovered the suspect from the water, as well as 10 bales of contraband wrapped in brown bags.
The month after that, authorities seized cocaine worth an estimated $12 million from a boat off the island’s north coast.
