The National Drug Control Department reports that an army sergeant was arrested when caught in custody of suspected drug dealers on their way to Playa Los Charcos, in Rio San Juan on the northeastern coast, where they would receive a shipment of cocaine. The sergeant was identified as Miguel Segundo Garcia. He was chief of a Nagua military post. DNCD officers had been on his trail and others that foster drug trafficking in the northeastern provinces of Duarte, Maria Trinidad Sanchez and Samana. As reported in Diario Libre, alleged drug dealers that were accompanying the sergeant wore military garb. The DNCD officers found a small portion of cocaine on the officer. The sergeant was part of the 13th Company of the Army.
Diario Libre also reports that last Saturday a drug-manufacturing lab was dismantled in a Villa Consuelo, Santo Domingo apartment, as police sources told EFE wire service. Interestingly, it was located in the same building as a Police station. Four suspect drug traffickers were arrested and the 11 agents appointed to the station. As reported, this was not the first time that the apartment was searched. The first time, four weeks ago, two persons were detained for having 50 portions of crack. The next week, another person was detained. On Saturday, a larger quantity of crack ingredients was confiscated and the 11 police agents were arrested, including two second lieutenants, and several sergeants.
The move comes on the heals of the appointment of a new police chief.
