Federal agents seized $6.4 million worth of cocaine on an oil tanker at the Port of Los Angeles and arrested a suspected cartel smuggler in California this week. The suspect was taken into custody after authorities discovered the large quantity of narcotics onboard the vessel. The cargo was bound for a Mexican drug cartel, and its seizure is believed to be one of the largest of its kind in recent years. The incident highlights ongoing efforts by US law enforcement agencies to disrupt international smuggling operations.
