DNCD recovers drugs

[NewsWhore]

The National Drug Control Department (DNCD) has announced the recovery of 360 kilos of either cocaine of heroin found floating in the Caribbean Sea, 40 miles off the coast of Barahona. The DNCD, as reported in Listin Diario, explained that the drugs were wrapped in 12 bricks weighing 30 kilos each. The DNCD says that an airplane had dropped the drugs into the Caribbean Sea. The drug operation was intercepted because the drugs were sighted by a British helicopter prior to their pick-up by the drug traffickers. Manolo Soto, Ramon Carrasco Carrasco and Epifanio Matos Rochitt have been arrested in connection with the case and Listin writes that Matos had previously been questioned in a case involving 372 kilos and 260 kilos of drugs. DNCD head Major General Rafael Radhames Ramirez Ferreira also reports that Florencio Feliz Feliz and Jairo Ortiz Carrasco were arrested because they tried to retrieve the drugs from the ocean a few hours earlier.
