Authorities seize 126 packages containing 5.6 tons of suspected cocaine, the navy says.

15 suspects were arrested and over 1,000 liters of fuel was also confiscated.

In a second operation, naval patrol boats and a helicopter retrieved 32 packages floating in the water.

The raids come about a year after a semi-submersible vessel -- or so-called narco sub -- was videoed carrying more than 7,000 pounds of cocaine.
