Drug Smugglers Use Homemade Submarine

Now here's one way to get drugs across the border and it's not the first time in recent years that this has happened. A homemade cocaine smuggling submarine was found by the Mexican Navy off the Pacific Coast this week. "The crew members said they were fishermen forced to make the journey by drug traffickers who threatened to harm their families," reports KNX1070, per the AP. Nine vessels like this have been found in the past three years by Columbian officials.
