Interesting news for anyone who's been hassled by these guys at POP airport. Seems they've been checking for mules while allowing shipments to be loaded on planes. Don't know if this will result in less hassles for innocent travelers or more. Only time will tell.
New DNCD staff at POP
The National Drug Control Department have announced the transfer and arrest of their entire staff posted at Puerto Plata International Airport. Last week 43 packages of cocaine were discovered at the airport. The drug was to have been shipped to Toronto, Canada. Roberto Lebron of the DNCD said that there were 6 suspects, but that investigations would continue. As reported in Diario Libre, three military officials suspected of collaboration with an international drug ring have been arrested in connection with last week's cocaine haul.
