The Navy has announced the seizure of an additional 149 packs of cocaine hidden in the speedboat that was intercepted in Las Terrenas, Samana last week. The Navy had originally seized 120 kilos (117 packs) on board the ship that was bound for the Bahamas.
The Navy and the National Drug Control Agency (DNCD) seized 120 kilos of cocaine in the speedboat at the Playa de Los Pescadores in Samana on 6 September. US citizen Robert Bruce Adams and Dominicans Carlos Lopez and Juan Tirso Bisono Hirardo were arrested and sent to the judiciary.
DNCD spokesman Roberto Lebron said that the drugs were found in the boat Chubasco that had left from Boca Chica and was intercepted by Navy officers. The drugs, reported to have come from South America, were en route to Gran Inagua island in the Bahamas. The confiscation followed a joint operation with agents from the US Drug Enforcement Administration, as part of Safe Coasts Operation with the US Coast Guard based in Puerto Rico.
