1.3 tons of cocaine seized in June in Peru
Peruvian police seized 1,313.55 kilograms of cocaine in anti-drug operations in June, police officials said on Sunday.

Police also smashed 88 drug-processing factories and confiscated 33 tons of chemical medicines to be used to produce drugs, said Eduardo Montero, chief of the Peruvian Anti-Drug Police Bureau.

A number of suspected drug-traffickers were also captured in the operations, said Montero.

Peruvian police have captured some eight tons of cocaine since the beginning of this year.

Peru, located in the notorious drug-producing "Silver Triangle"of South America, yields some 300 tons of cocaine every year and is the world's second biggest cocaine-producer following Colombia.
