Agents detain truck driver
and find hidden 78 kilos



By the A.M. Costa Rica staff


Anti-drug agents of the Judicial Investigating Organization followed up on a confidential tip early Wednesday and managed to stop a small truck that had a double bed. In the lower section agents said they found 78 kilos (about 172 pounds) of suspected cocaine.

The arrest of the 39-year-old driver was in San José de Upala near the border with Nicaragua.

There is access to Nicaragua in the northern zone and the border is not as well guarded as the Peñas Blancas frontier post where agents use high tech to scan trucks.
