Mexican navy said the 1,967-pound of cocaine was seized aboard a ship bound for the United States during a weekend raid last week in the Puerto Progreso harbour on the Yucatan Peninsula. Navy inspectors in the port town of Progreso on the southeastern shore of Mexico said they slit open one of the frozen sharks after detecting an anomaly on an X-ray and black bags filled with rectangular cocaine packets spilled out. Drug gangs are coming up with increasingly creative ways of getting drugs into the United States in sealed beer cans, religious statues and furniture as Mexico's military cracks down on the cartels moving South American narcotics north.
