Feedback on JT4080 (26 JUL 90):
OOF: (261043 JUL 90) The target is currently located at 23 27 N 89 22 W. The vessel
is concerned with evading detection. It is transporting narcotics, which are located in one
of two locations on board. The crux/ke to locating the contraband is an area where
metal shavings/filings occur. Sense that a white and dense material has been injected
into the center mast and that this mast is considered expedable. It is to be cut in half
lengthwise. If this is the location of the contraband, metal shavings are found around the
deck base collar of the mast. The second area on the vessel is in the rear of the vessel
near the engine. A section of the port side wall of this area has been packed with solid
and dense heavy nylon bags in between the strutts or ribs. The section containing these
packages is very solid. If this is the location of the contraband, metal shavings will be
found at the base of this specific wall section. An attempt had been made to clean up
and remove all of the metal shavings. However, reminents have worked themselves out
in one of the two locations on board. Sense that a primary person (a man) on board is
not aware of what the vessel is actually carrying. A [nice] man in/from Harrisburg, PA is
associated with this target in some way.
SGIIA
OOB: (261036 JUL 90) The S/V/ M detected at approximate coordinates
200ON/1815W, is involved in smuggling operations of both drugs and contraband
classified government (not believed to be U.S. government) documents and manuals.
The drugs appear to be located in two large wooden kegs and one metal trash can which
are hanging by ropes over the railings. The government documents are located.in one
of several compartments located under carpeting on the interior flooring. There are
indications that, although the owner of the ship will make a good profit off the operation,
it will not be a remarkably large profit, and that the main reason this ship is involved is
because the owner is being blackmailed into participation.
SG1A
OOG: The is located at 26 N - 86 W in the Gulf of Mexico. It is
heading toward 29 N - 85 W and carrying drugs in the wall of the hull (second level). The
drugs are located in four crates with plastic inside. There are towels and seaweed in this
area. The main man, who is on the vessel, is doing this for himself. The drugs will
eventually end up in California.
00D: 261105L July 90 SG1A
The SIV is located at 11 50'N 82 10W It is not carrying
drugs at this time ut it has carried drugs in the past, (possibly just dropped some off).
This vessel seems to be a carrier or transporter that moves drugs from one vessel to
another.
