CORPUS CHRISTI - Two stowaways from Colombia jumped overboard from
an oil tanker at the Port of Corpus Christi overnight during a drug bust
We're told that port officials received a tip about a ship coming
from Venezuela that was carrying over a hundred pounds of illegal drugs.
When the Sanko Venture docked at oil dock number seven, two people
jumped overboard, but were caught and taken into custody by Federal
agents.
Officials searched the tanker and found 94 pounds of cocaine and more than five pounds of heroin packed in two nylon bags.
The crew is currently detained on board the vessel while Immigrations and Customs Enforcement investigates.
