The National Drug Control Department has confiscated two shipments of cocaine bound for Puerto Rico. A 98-package shipment weighing 120 kilograms was discovered in a freight container belonging to a plastics company and being sent to a company in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico on the ferry. Freight truck driver Fabricio Rodriguez was arrested.
The DNCD says that Termo Envases, the owner of the plastic packages shipment and J.F. Montalvo, located in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, are not responsible for the shipment. The DNCD said its investigations show that it was the driver, Fabricio Rodriguez and other individuals who are under investigation. The DNCD said the driver and accomplices detoured to pick up the cargo. For this purpose, the door of the container was removed, the seal was not broken, and the drugs placed inside, as reported in Listin Diario.
An additional 16-package shipment weighing 19 kilograms was discovered at Las Americas International Airport. Major General Gilberto Delgado Valdez said that a woman who was trying to smuggle the drug onto Jetblue Flight 1734 was stopped before boarding. Several arrests have been made in connection with both cases.
