The National Drug Control Department (DNCD) has announced the capture of two of the three men accused of picking up the 250 kilos of cocaine dropped from an airplane late last week. The airdrop occurred off the coast of Barahona, near the town of La Cienega. DNCD chief General Rolando Rosado Mateo identified the pair as Bienvenido Cuevas Guevara and Herson Cuevas Urbaez, a.k.a. "Yanku", both residents of La Cienega.
The nine drug packages were on board a small craft registered to one of the men. The boat was captured by the DNCD with assistance from the US Coast Guard and Dominican Navy after a brief gun battle.
The aircraft that brought the contraband drugs had been spotted hours earlier as it left Venezuela and was followed by radars as it tracked toward the Dominican coastline. The arrests were led by General Rosado Mateo.
