10 Biggest Drug Busts In U.S. History

3. US Coast Guard 2016 drug bust

Many of the massive drug busts happen in waters because, as we mentioned earlier, the Pacific is one of the biggest routes to the illegal drug trade, which is why the US Coast Guard is mentioned here a lot. In 2016, 26 tons of cocaine were seized by the US Coast Guard and the Royal Canadian Navy in a joint operation, with the drugs worth over $2 billion. The drugs came from multiple places in South America.
