Authorities continue to crack down on drug crimes
At noon on Thursday, Feb. 11, officers from the Judicial Investigation Department (DIJ) of the National Police, seized 819 kilos of cocaine.
According to police reports, the stash of drugs was uncovered in the false wall of a house located in a residential area of the capital city.
This drug bust is linked to the dismantling of a drug gang this past January that was discovered to be transporting drugs from Tocumen International Airport. Seven people were detained in that incident, including five Panamanians and two Guatemalans.
Yesterday's operation was conducted in coordination with the Drug Prosecution Office, and the confiscated drugs are now in the hands of the corresponding competent authorities.
