The U.S. Coast Guard seized a 45-foot fishing boat off the coast of San Diego Wednesday after finding less than an ounce of marijuana on board, authorities said. The commercial gill netter Lococo Brothers, was the third seized in a week off the Southern California shore under the federal “zero tolerance” drug crackdown. A boarding team found the drugs about 9:50 a.m. during a random inspection of the boat, which was about 60 miles west-southwest of San Diego, according to a Coast Guard spokesman in Long Beach. Two men were aboard the boat. The boat was escorted into the San Diego Harbor Police facility at Shelter Island late Wednesday, where U.S. Customs Service inspectors will conduct an investigation.
