The National Drug Control Department (DNCD) is reporting the haul of 252 kilos of pure cocaine that was thrown from a small plane between Villa Riva and Samana. The Dominican Air Force and the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) made the seizure. Listin Diario writes that when the agents went to collect the drugs, which were packed in eight 'bricks', a shootout ensued. No one was injured, and one man, named as Alexis Rafael Campos Rodriguez, was arrested in connection with the case. It is believed that the cocaine was intended for local consumption. While in the past, transshipment deals were paid in cash, the current practice is for local traffickers to be paid in drugs, which they then sell locally to get paid.
The DNCD reports having confiscated 368 kilos of cocaine, 7.43 kilos of marijuana, and has arrested 1,447 people in the past 30 days.
