Fox 35 reported that the haul was removed from a boat in Port Everglades by the Coast Guard.
The veritable mountain was not seized all at once, however, and reportedly spanned 12 separate cases.
They involved two Coast Guard vessels, three U.S. Navy vessels, and two British Royal Navy vessels in the Eastern Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
