Royal Netherlands Navy seizes drugs totalling 3,000 kg in Caribbean Sea

The crew of a Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) warship has confiscated narcotics totalling 3,000 kg following an interdiction operation against a so-called "go-fast" boat in the Caribbean Sea.

The interception by the crew of the patrol vessel HNLMS Friesland was conducted on May 29. However, the details of the operation were disclosed only recently by the Dutch Ministry of Defence.
