National Drug Control Agency (DNCD) agents at the Las Americas International Airport (AILA) have arrested a Dominican man who arrived from Colombia with 29 packets of white powder, presumably cocaine or heroin, in his digestive system.
DNCD spokesman Dario Medrano said that the 25-year old man from San Francisco de Macoris had arrived on a flight from Bogota. The stomach implants were detected using X-ray equipment.
The man, whose name has not been released by the authorities, was sent to the Armed Forces Hospital to expel the packets that were later taken to the forensic laboratory for weighing and analysis.
