THE MEXICAN Navy seized over 2,400 kilos (5291 lbs) of cocaine in three speed boats during an anti-drug operation on Monday (July 3) on the southern Guerrero Pacific coast.

Aerial surveillance footage showed people getting off the boats and running towards the mainland.

The drug's seizure occurred after the Mexican navy tracked one of the boats for seven hours via ocean-going vessels.

The navy said the crew members fled after becoming aware of the operation against them.

Authorities reported on Mexico's general attorney to launch an investigation into the alleged narco-boats.
