The biggest shipment of ecstasy pills ever caught by the National Drug Control Department (DNCD) was seized at Puerto Plata’s Gregorio Luperon Airport on Sunday. Diario Libre reports that agents found 259,337 pills in 50 packages inside three bags that had been abandoned in the customs area of the terminal. One of the bags also contained a 9-miimeter Glock automatic pistol with two chargers. The drugs arrived on Arke Fly flight 341 from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, although they were tagged with another airline’s numbering. No one has been detained in connection with the case. The passenger that was supposed to have arrived with the drugs did not board the flight, and no Dominican contact showed up to collect it. Ecstasy is produced mainly in Europe and is almost always marketed in pill form. It is a laboratory-manufactured drug that is mainly used by teenagers.
