The cocaine, which has a street value of about $49.5 million Cdn, was found when Edmonton and two U.S. Coast Guard ships stopped a drug-smuggling vessel on April 8.
HMCS Edmonton returned to CFB Esquimalt on Friday after a two-and-a-half month deployment where the crew helped seize an estimated 755 kilograms of cocaine off the coast of Mexico.
Edmonton left Feb. 13 to take part in Operation Caribbe, Canada’s contribution to the U.S.-led Enhanced Counternarcotics Operations under Joint Interagency Task Force South. Last year, HMCS Yellowknife took part in Operation Caribbe and worked with the U.S. Coast Guard to intercept about 800 kilograms of cocaine.
