The National Drug Control Agency (DNCD) has arrested an Italian and a Colombian with 11 packages of cocaine. Both arrests were made at Punta Cana International airport. The 47-year-old Italian had around four and a half kilos of cocaine inside a backpack and was about to board a flight to Brussels.
The 51-year old Colombian had arrived at the airport from Bogota with six packages that tested positive for cocaine and weighing just over five kilos. The drugs were in his hand luggage. On arrival at the airport, when he noticed that he was being observed by DNCD agents, he went into the bathroom in a failed attempt to put them off the scent.
