In a significant operation led by the National Police through the National Anti-Drugs Directorate (DNAD), authorities conducted a successful raid at a port in the Province of Colón. During this operation, officials discovered 674 packages of suspected drugs hidden within a cargo container.
The illicit substance was cleverly concealed in 17 suitcases, making it difficult to detect. Preliminary investigations indicate that the container originated from the United States, transited through Panama, and was ultimately destined for Belgium.
This discovery is a crucial victory in the ongoing fight against drug trafficking. The operation underscores the importance of international cooperation and vigilance in combating the global drug trade. Authorities are committed to reinforcing these international controls to disrupt trafficking networks.
