Dutch military ship Friesland intercepts over 4,200 kilograms of drugs in Caribbean
ORANJESTAD — Dutch naval ship HNLMS Friesland intercepted more than 4,200 kilograms of narcotics in the Caribbean Sea during a joint operation with the Dutch Caribbean Coast Guard and the United States Coast Guard on Saturday, October 31.
The operation began when a Dutch Caribbean Coast Guard Dash 8 patrol aircraft spotted a suspicious vessel. Friesland deployed two fast interception craft (FRISC), carrying Dutch military personnel and US Coast Guard officers.
The suspected smuggling vessel ignored repeated orders to stop, including warning shots. US Coast Guard personnel eventually boarded the boat and seized the drug shipment.
Both the narcotics and the suspects were handed over to the US Coast Guard.
Friesland has been stationed in the Caribbean since September, supporting counter-narcotics operations and remaining available for humanitarian assistance during natural disasters.
