The National Drug Control Department (DNCD) cooperated in Tuesday's drug bust that uncovered a drug ring that operated out of Santo Domingo's Las Americas International Airport and JFK airport in New York City. Reports indicate that baggage handlers at AILA would pack the drugs into the baggage of travelers headed to NY. Once the drugs arrived, handlers at JFK would move the drug luggage to separate areas and remove the drugs before customs officials searched it. Henry Polanco has been named as the leader of the drug ring and a total of 18 people have been arrested in connection with the operation. Investigations in the DR and NY are still ongoing. As part of a two-year investigation, officials seized 46 kilos of cocaine, 25 kilos of heroin and 3 kilos of ecstasy. Authorities at AILA indicate that the DNCD had asked American Airlines and Delta Airlines for security tapes of the last nine months with the intent of handing the tapes over to authorities in NY.
