A 95-mile boat, helicopter and plane chase off Long Island led to more than 5 tons of Colombian cocaine worth an estimated $861 million - the third largest cocaine bust in the nation.

Federal agents seized 10,771 pounds of cocaine Sunday from a fishing boat in the state's largest cocaine seizure, officials said Monday.The drugs were found after a chase off southern Long Island involving two planes, a helicopter and three patrol boats.

"Somebody lost an awful lot of money today," said Robert Bryden, special agent in charge of the city's Drug Enforcement Administation office.

The drugs, purchased from the Cali cartel, were being brought to New York by an organized crime family, he said. Bryden said he was not sure which crime family was involved.
