Nicaragua Authorities
Seize Coke Cargo
Nicaraguan police
confiscated
approximately 800
kilograms of cocaine on
the border with Costa
Rica, National Police
Chief First Commissioner
Aminta Granera informed
on Thursday.
"I wouldn't like to give
the exact weight, [but]
we have over 800
kilograms," asserted
Granera, who called
Wednesday's operation at
Peñas Blancas "another
harsh blow to organized
crime."
Police had prior
intelligence about the
arrival of the drugs
from Costa Rica with
destination to Honduras.
The drugs were found
hidden in secret
sections of a truck and
the truck driver, of
Costa Rican nationality,
was arrested.
Granera made the
announcement after a
posthumous homage to a
noncommissioned police
officer who died in a
clash with a gang of
kidnappers in northern
Nicaragua. |
