The National Drug Control Department confiscated a light airplane suspect to have transported an unspecified amount of drugs in a Higuey sugarcane field yesterday. In the operation, they arrested one Dominican Wilkin Canden (29) and two Colombians, Pedro Alonso (30) and Alexander Vasquez (22). The men were caught when fueling the plane for takeoff. The airplane, a Cessna 206 Venezuelan Registration YV1133 had a single seat for the pilot, as the passenger seats were probably removed to make space for the cargo. The drug consignment, believed to be cocaine, was not found, leading to speculation that it had already been delivered.
The authorities also confiscated a rifle with illegible registration numbers, three SUVs, (Nissan Murano and Toyota, a Toyota Runner), two power plants used to light the improvised landing field and 14 plastic fuel containers. The operation was headed by DNCD chief General Rolando Rosado Mateo, who was assisted by Higuey prosecutor Lucas Evangelista Perez and members of army and police intelligence.
