US Embassy Charge d'Affaires Roland Bullen has commended the work of the Dominican authorities and ports in their work against illegal trips to Puerto Rico. The interim ambassador says that illegal trips from Higuey province to Puerto Rico have been reduced. Bullen added that since 2006, 42 illegal vessels have been intercepted before entering US waters and it is the work of Dominican officials that has allowed the US Coast Guard authorities to lift a ban on Dominican ships from entering US waters. Bullen also revealed that more than 900 kilos of cocaine and heroin have been seized, and many people have been arrested by the DR and US authorities, in special operations. Bullen made his comments during a conference sponsored by US Southern Command.
