Coast Guardsmen from the Coast Guard Cutter Steadfast from Astoria, Oregon, interdict a suspected low-profile drug smuggling vessel with 6,000 pounds of cocaine and four suspected smugglers in driving rain several hundred miles off the Central American coast, Aug. 14, 2017. A low-profile vessel is designed by drug trafficking organizations to evade detection by authorities for the purposes of smuggling drugs, weapons or cash, and Coast Guard interdictions help identify illicit trafficking pathways and contribute to the arrest and extradition of high-level drug cartel kingpins, leading to follow on interdictions.
