Officials with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) announced Tuesday that they had seized roughly $10 million worth of cocaine at the Port of Baltimore, Md.

Local CBS affiliate WJZ reported that the bust, 333 pounds, was the largest such seizure of cocaine at the Port of Baltimore in CBP's history.

According to WJZ, officials discovered the drugs neatly packaged in black bags hidden inside a container of beach chairs earlier this month. The chairs were addressed to a location in Maryland, officials told WJZ, but no arrests have yet been made.

Previously, the largest cocaine bust at the Port of Baltimore was in April of 2007, when 311 pounds were seized.

The bust comes after CBP officials reported last week that the agency had seized more than 17 tons of cocaine at the Philadelphia seaport, valued around $1.1 billion.

“Narcotics smuggling continues to pose a real and tangible threat to our communities, particularly when such activities are perpetuated by the crewmembers of a commercial vessel, as alleged in this investigation," an official with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Philadelphia, which partnered with CBP on the Philadelphia investigation, said last week.

HSI will continue to vigorously pursue investigations that target drug trafficking organizations engaged in the worldwide smuggling of dangerous narcotics," the official added.
