海岸警卫队「查尔斯·塞克斯顿号」在哥伦比亚外海截停两艘毒船 缴获约10900磅可卡因

美国海岸警卫队巡逻舰「查尔斯·塞克斯顿号」10月28日在哥伦比亚卡塔赫纳(Cartagena)以西外海约175英里处,拦截两艘涉嫌运毒船只,缴获约10,900磅可卡因,估计价值8,920万美元。海岸警卫队总部11月13日发布了这一消息。
两艘毒船都是被海岸警卫队开火打坏发动机后迫停的。船上10名涉毒嫌疑人被拘留,随后被遣返哥伦比亚,接受进一步调查并可能面临起诉。
「我为这支队伍的专业素养和韧性感到无比自豪,正是这些让我们能够完成这样动态而危险的海上任务,」该舰指挥官 Peter Fager 中尉说,「我们决心不让毒品流上美国的街头,保护我们的国家免受跨国犯罪组织和贩毒集团的侵害。」
海岸警卫队表示,这次拦截是其在海上拦截、缴获和打断可卡因等大宗毒品转运任务的一部分。2026财政年度,海岸警卫队已缴获近198,000磅可卡因,超过其年度平均水平;自2025年8月以来,海岸警卫队通过「太平洋毒蛇行动」在东太平洋缴获了超过262,000磅可卡因。
海岸警卫队说,它依据《美国法典》第14编的执法授权,与地方、州、联邦和国际伙伴一道,在从发现、监视到海上拦截和刑事起诉的各个环节打击跨国犯罪组织和非法海上贩运,行动重点包括东太平洋等关键海域。

Coast Guard Cutter Charles Sexton Stops Two Drug Vessels off Colombia, Seizing About 10,900 Pounds of Cocaine
The crew of U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Charles Sexton interdicted two suspected drug vessels on Oct. 28 about 175 miles off Cartagena, Colombia, seizing approximately 10,900 pounds of cocaine worth an estimated $89.2 million, Coast Guard Headquarters announced on Nov. 13.
Both vessels were stopped with disabling fire. Ten suspected smugglers were detained and repatriated to Colombia for further investigation and potential prosecution.
"I am incredibly proud of this crew's professionalism and resilience that allows us to complete these dynamic and dangerous missions at sea," said Lt. Peter Fager, the cutter's commanding officer. "We are determined to keep drugs off America's streets and protecting our nation from transnational criminal organizations and cartels."
The Coast Guard said the interdictions are part of its mission to interdict, seize and disrupt the transshipment of cocaine and other bulk illicit drugs by sea. In fiscal year 2026, the Coast Guard seized nearly 198,000 pounds of cocaine, exceeding its annual average; since August 2025, it has seized more than 262,000 pounds of cocaine through Operation Pacific Viper in the Eastern Pacific.
Operating under its Title 14 law enforcement authorities, the Coast Guard said it works with local, state, federal and international partners across every stage of counter-drug operations, from detection and monitoring to maritime interdiction and criminal prosecution, as part of a whole-of-government approach against transnational organized crime.
