Coast Guard cutter Active returns after anti-narcotics operations

PUERTO VALLARTA - The Coast Guard cutter Active has returned to Port Angeles after a 3-month deployment off the coast of Central America.

The Peninsula Daily News reports the crew returned home to a hero's welcome Sunday afternoon.

The Coast Guard says they seized more than $17 million worth of illegal narcotics during their deployment in support of a multi-agency task force. In addition to seizing more than a thousand pounds of cocaine, they also did search-and-rescue work in the Pacific.

The Coast Guard says the crew also spent time on shore helping renovate an elementary school in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
