The National Department for Drug Control (DNCD) seized yesterday 6 boxes containing 407 zucchini that had been filled with cocaine at the Las Americas International Airport (AILA). The total weight of the cocaine was estimated at 25 kilograms. According to the report, the cocaine had been "carefully introduced" into the zucchini in a rural section of La Vega.
Diario Libre says the drugs were packaged for air shipment. They were consigned to the Raising Sun Produce Corp. located at 673 Jerome St., Brooklyn, New York 11207. The boxes of zucchini full of the drugs were sent to the airport by a company called Exportadora CMP, located in the community of La Cabuya, La Vega.
The drugs were discovered yesterday in Warehouse 7 of the cargo area of Customs at the Punta Caucedo terminal at around 3pm prior to disembarkment on a plane to NY.
Upon the discovery, officials of the DNCD investigated the employees in the cargo areas, customs and business that bring merchandise to the deposit. The warehouse where the drugs were found is the same one linked to thefts in delayed luggage.
