TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Honduran and U.S. authorities have seized at least 4.6 tons of cocaine on a boat in the Caribbean Sea and arrested six of the vessel’s crew members.

Honduran navy Cmdr. Juan Pablo Rodriguez says the cocaine was found on the Honduran-flagged “Eclipse” about 100 miles off the Honduran coast in a joint operation with the U.S. Coast Guard. The area is near the Nicaraguan border.

Honduran authorities estimate that 100 tons of cocaine from Colombia pass through the Central American nation each year en route to the United States.
