The U.S. Coast Guard Investigative Service (CGIS) has made a significant arrest in an ongoing criminal investigation, seizing a sailing vessel approximately 40 nautical miles off the coast of Melbourne, Florida. Special agents with CGIS were supported by multiple Coast Guard surface and aviation assets during the operation. The seizure was part of a complex surveillance and interdiction operation coordinated by CGIS and operational Coast Guard surface from Sector Miami and aviation assets from Air Station Miami.

This transfer highlights the Coast Guard's ability to adapt and respond to changing situations.
