Abandoned boat full of cocaine washes up in Marshall Islands

Attorney General Richard Hickson of the Marshall Islands Police reported that the Pacific nation’s largest-ever haul of cocaine was reported as an abandoned boat washed up on a remote atoll after having drifted on the high seas, potentially for years. The 18-foot fiberglass vessel was found at Ailuk atoll last week with 1,430 pounds of cocaine hidden in a compartment beneath the deck.
