The National Drug Control Agency (DNCD) has confiscated 599 kilos of white powder suspect to be cocaine, found on the high seas, and arrested three Dominicans. The raid happened in front of the Caucedo Port, around 38 nautical miles to the south of Santo Domingo.
The drugs were being smuggled on a speedboat with Colombian registration. The arrest took place when the drugs were being transferred to another boat. The boats were taken to Sans Souci Port and are under the custody of the Dominican Armada and the DNCD agents.
