Drug traffickers dumped 3,300 pounds of cocaine into the ocean during a pursuit of their boat by the U.S. Coast Guard and Nicaraguan authorities.
The cocaine was bundled in 50 packages that the suspects threw overboard before escaping, after they ditched the small craft on the Nicaraguan coast, El Nuevo Diario reported Friday.Authorities had been chasing the four suspects since Tuesday.
