Agents of the Bolivarian National Police (PNB) collected 20 panelas of cocaine that they left abandoned on the beaches of Maurica, Barcelona (Anzoátegui), according to a report posted on the Instagram site of the aforementioned security force.
The shipment weighed approximately 22 kilos. The officials arrived at the site after receiving a phone call describing individuals who were in boats and trucks in the Las Bateas sector of Maurica.

In another procedure, members of the Bolivarian National Guard, Detachment 111, raided two residences in El Marite, Maracaibo (Zulia) and seized 13 panelas of marijuana (7 kilos 524 grams), according to military sources.
