Drug haul at ports

Agents from the National Drug Control Agency (DNCD) have confiscated 479 packets of drugs found inside three containers that came from Peru and Colombia and docked in the Multimodal Caucedo and Haina ports.

In Haina, they found 173 packets of drugs that arrived on the ship Warnow Whale from the port of Barranquilla, Colombia. Three Dominicans were arrested at the scene as they were transferring the drugs into a truck, but the truck driver managed to escape.

In Caucedo, the DNCD found 306 packets of drugs in containers in the ship Spirit Hamburg that came from Peru.

DNCD spokesman Miguel Medina said that the drugs had been sent to the National Institute of Forensic Science (INACIF) to determine their composition and their exact weight.
