UK and Norwegian citizens have been arrested for cultivating what is described as a marijuana plantation, with 300 plants ready for harvesting, several hundred that had already been harvested and packaged, and dozens more as seedlings, as reported in Hoy. The foreigners were identified as UK citizen Bob Allen George, known as "La Rata and/or Bob Marley" and Norwegian citizen Christian Lindstad. The two lived in a dwelling in El Choco (Sosua) that was raided by anti-drug agents and a state prosecutor. Also arrested were Haitian worker Pedro Pool and Dominican worker Jose Anibal Peralta. As reported, the farm belongs to Lindstad's father and was known in Sosua as Quinta El Mago. The two foreigners are expected to be accused of operating a distribution network of marijuana and other drugs in the area.
Hoy says that their clients were tourists of several nationalities.
