A 53-year-old Coast Guard cutter is scheduled to offload more than 5,271 pounds of cocaine worth more than $78 million Tuesday at 7 a.m. following a counter drug patrol in international waters off Central America.

The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Active from Port Angeles, Wash., seized the drugs during two back-to-back interdictions off the coast of Central America May 18 and May 19. The crew also apprehended six suspected drug smugglers during the interdictions who will be prosecuted in the United States. The drugs will be turned over to federal agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration for destruction.
