DNCD spokesman Roberto Lebron said that the anti-drug agency arrested a deportee, Nelson Aquino Fernandez, and Waldi Miguel Bueno Almonte, Johnson Ogando Pena and Juan Carlos Puntiel Sosa in the operation. Lebron said that Aquino Fernandez was responsible for supervising the shipment, while Bueno Almonte was the driver of the truck in which the seven bags that contained the shipment was delivered to the port. The cocaine was seized when the men now under arrest were entering the port.
