The National Drug Control Department continues its clampdown on the trafficking of illegal narcotics by announcing the seizure of 109.9 kilos of cocaine. The drugs were seized during raids in the Naco and Cancino II areas of Santo Domingo. They also arrested four men in connection with the drugs. DNCD spokesman Roberto Lebron reported that the men were part of a drug trafficking ring that used the country as a jumping-off point en route to the U.S. and Europe, and that the leader of the group was a Chilean man. The drugs were wrapped in 99 small packets. Firearms, various cell phones and a vehicle were confiscated along with the drugs.
Lebron also announced the arrest of 14 men who are believed to be associated with drug trafficking rings in Las Matas de Farfan and Elias Pina in the southwest. During the raid in Elias Pina, DNCD agents confiscated 22 packets of marijuana, 14 packets of cocaine and 4 packets of other drugs, while in the raid in Las Matas de Farfan they confiscated 42 packets of marijuana, 45 packets of cocaine and 4 packets of crack.
