Commando Group
Steals 320Kg Of Confiscated Drugs in Golfito
It was a the first time in the history of
Costa Rica that in a commando style attack,
a heavily armed and organized group,
overtook two officers of the Fuerza Pública
and took the 320 kilos of cocaine stored in
the offices of the Fiscalía de Golfito in
the Ministerio Public building of the area.
The group, using a tactic to distract the
local police officials with a fake domestic
violence call, the group took off with the
cocaine that was earlier in the week
confiscated from an Ecuadorian boat
intercepted by authorities.
In the attack, not a single shot was fired
and no one was injured.
Poder Judicial officials in San Jose where
questioning why the confiscated drugs were
not in a vault in San Jose. Normally
confiscated drugs and valuables are
immediately sent to San Jose for
safekeeping.
An intensive police operation in the area
began shortly after the attack, checking all
vehicles in numerous spot checks and
tightening border controls. Authorities are
also keeping an eye on marine activity.
