ICE Reports Another Drug Seizure from a Cargo Ship at the Port of Norfolk

Immigrations and Customs Enforcement reported another seizure of drugs from a vessel arriving at the Port of Norfolk. The seizure of two kilograms each of cocaine and heroin, concealed in the ceiling of a bathroom on the vessel, comes on the heels of the report last week that a joint task force had seized about 35 kilograms of cocaine at the Port of Norfolk in separate drug smuggling ventures. On July 27, the task force seized 32 kilograms of cocaine off of a vessel arriving into the Port of Norfolk, ICE said. On Aug. 4, the task force seized three kilograms of cocaine from a container vessel that was due into Hampton Roads. No arrests have been made and no crew members are suspected of being involved, ICE said.
