The National Drug Control Department (DNCD) and the Dominican Air Force have announced that they had found a burned out twin-engine airplane and 150 kilograms of cocaine in a field in Higuey, the capital of La Altagracia province. According to the report several people were being held for questioning. Colonel Guillermo Manueta, the DNCD head for the eastern region, said that the small plane had been pursued since the day before yesterday night, and was located yesterday, burned up, but with Venezuelan markings clearly visible on the tail. The aircraft landed in the cane fields near Batey Campo Nuevo, and the 150 kilograms of drugs were found and the suspects detained three kilometers away. The aircraft, a Cessna, carried the number 642360 and the Venezuelan flag on the tail rudder.
Major General Rafael Radhames Ramirez Ferreira of the DNCD announced yesterday that two DNCD agents have tested positive for drugs and were expelled from the department. Adolfo Nunez Rojas was the first to receive a dishonorable discharge, and is to be followed by agent David Taveras Reyes.
In the war against drugs, Ramirez said they have arrested a group of Dominicans who were deported from the US after serving jail time for drug trafficking there. These are former convicts Manuel Emilio Mella Naranjo, Jose Andres Brito, Alberto Armando Ramon and Ramon Antonio Malero Jimenez. Ramirez said that their associate in the DR was Luis Alberto Paulino Cruz/Luis Lorenzo Perez, with whom they dealt with, sending large quantities of cocaine and heroin to the US.
