The Colombian Navy has intercepted the largest cartel-manufactured cocaine submarine since records began.
The semi-submersible vessel was three metres wide and 30 metres long and was stopped on its way to Central America. It was picked up by radar technology as it was crossing the Pacific Ocean and the Colombian Air Force was summoned to track it as it sailed closer.
Their intercept operation actually managed to save the lives of those on board.
According to RT, the submarine had developed a leak and had been taking on water as it got close to Colombia. Authorities arrested the three crewmen, who might not have survived if they hadn't intercepted them.
