The National Drug Control Department (DNCD) cleaned house yesterday at the Punta Cana Airport, arresting 32 people, suspected of being involved in the trafficking of 58 packets of cocaine. The crew of a small plane that transported the drugs, as well as two passengers were among those arrested. Police say they confiscated two suitcases carrying drugs, but that 5 other suitcases known to have been on the flight had gone missing.
The flight came in from Venezuela. Diario Libre reports that military officials are among those arrested, as well as other employees from several institutions. DNCD spokesman Robert Lebron said that there must have been well-placed accomplices because of the ease with which the passengers and crew had brought the drugs into the DR.
