The National Drug Control Agency (DNCD) reported on Wednesday, 30 December 2015 a joint operation in Samana with the Dominican Armada (Navy) and the Air Force that ended in the confiscation of 79 packages of cocaine or heroin on a boat flying the St. Martin flag that was bound for Puerto Rico. Seven Dominican crew members, including the captain were on board. The arrest came after intelligence work revealed that the El Toro Negro that had arrived from Curacao was carrying narcotics. The ship was intercepted on the open seas and taken to the port of Arroyo Barril where the drugs were found hidden in six plastic buckets in the fuel tank. The DNCD canine units and part of its elite force took part in the operation.
