The U.S. Coast Guard seized 3,300 kilos of cocaine from southwestern Caribbean waters over the past month, and they loaded the drugs in Miami on Tuesday, according to the Miami Herald.
To put that into perspective, 3,300 kilos is equal to about 7,275 pounds.
The cocaine is worth about $110 million.
Here's what that looks like:
