The HNLMS Groningen carried out the most recent interdiction Sept. 28, 2020, while the cutter Heriberto Hernandez carried out the other interdiction Sept. 26, 2020. Federal law enforcement agents received custody of the $48 million drug shipment and six male-suspected smugglers apprehended in both cases. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Ricardo Castrodad)
