Summary:
On Monday in California, a drug smuggling boat (called a panga) loaded with marijuana was found near a surfing spot around Malibu. Deputy Joseph Baclawski of the sheriffs department said since the drugs were wrapped and sealed many times, it was hard to determine the exact amount of drugs the boat carried. He estimated there was about two thousand pounds. Baclawski also said that there has been many drug arrests involving pangas along the Southern California coastline over the past four years. It was unusual to find a drug boat that was beached in the day time however.
Analysis:
I do find it strange that this boat was beached in the middle of the day time. The drug smugglers on the boat must have gotten lost, caught in bad whether, or ran out of food and water, or else they wouldn't have stopped. It's hard to think that this kind of crazy stuff happens so often and most of the time we never know about it.

This is really shocking. I wouldn't expect a panga to be found in California let alone Malibu. Things like this open my eyes up to a part of society I don't know that I want to see
ReplyDeleteI agree it's weird that they managed to find it during the day. makes you think what went wrong.
ReplyDeleteI am curious to find out the missing part of this story. It's insane to think that this actually happens.
