During the Sunday night interdiction, the suspect vessel fled into Costa Rican territorial waters.

With the authorization of Costa Rican authorities, a Tahoma was able to pursue and stop the vessel in Costa Rican waters.

The Costa Rican coast guard deployed a vessel to the location, where they conducted a joint boarding with a Tahoma law enforcement team. Since the vessel was stopped in Costa Rican waters, those on board were taken into custody by Coast Rican authorities for prosecution.

The second go-fast was intercepted just outside of Costa Rican territorial waters Monday morning, but the vessel was determined by Tahoma's law-enforcement team as being registered in Costa Rica. Again, the Costa Rican coast guard launched a patrol boat to assist in the case.

In both cases no drugs were found, but there were numerous indications of illicit activity.
