The Colombian navy has seized 1,450 kg (3,200 lb) of cocaine from a speedboat in the Caribbean, following a tip off by US anti-drugs agents.
Colombian officials say the boat had left the northern town of Manaure and was heading towards the Dominican Republic.
It was intercepted in international waters
Four Venezuelans and a Colombian have been detained and are being held in custody in Tampa, Florida.
They are expected to be charged with drug trafficking, Colombian police said.
The drugs allegedly belonged to Los Urabenos, which operates in northern Colombia.
Los Urabenos is one of the groups the Colombian government calls Bacrim, short for bandas criminales (criminal gangs).
