$187 million in cocaine found on homemade submarine

Drug dealing just sunk to new depths.



The U.S. Coast Guard discovered 7 tons of cocaine on a homemade submarine off the coast of Costa Rica, reports Local 6 news.

On board the 70-foot sub with sophisticated navigation equipment: $187 million in cocaine.



The vessel and the people aboard were on their way to Key West today.

A U.S. Navy airplane spotted the sub. Coast Guard officials said the apparent Colombian drug runners were taken by surprise and four people were taken into custody in international waters.

As for Key West -- we wonder if that party city has ever seen that much coke.

I've heard about these things on and off for a while. With the level of sophistication of off the shelf components, these guys could put together some pretty interesting fish. Then there is always the human element to undo things aside from technical glitches. Do do drugs, even in subs!
