Colombian navy seizes more than 1 ton of cocaine

The Colombian navy says it had seized more than a ton of cocaine and a semi-submersible  in operations on the country's Pacific coastline. 

Investigators said a drug trafficking network was stockpiling the cocaine to eventually ship it aboard the torpedo craft to Central America. 

In a separate operation in the Bocagrande region of Narino, troops found packs of cocaine weighing a total of 402 kg inside two boats. 

The navy said the seizures prevented the drug traffickers from earning some 32 million dollars in sales if the cocaine had reached international markets.
