Santo Domingo.– Agents from the National Drug Control Directorate (DNCD) and members of the Public Ministry occupied, during an inspection operation, two lead medical vests, full of cocaine, which would be sent to the United States through the Dominican Postal Institute (Inposdom).
The agents and prosecutors, supported by Inposdom inspectors, were verifying the loads in the mail warehouses when they located a box with radiological protection clothing and several sheets of cocaine, camouflaged among the fabrics, wrapped in plastic covers, weighing more than 400 grams.
The medical vests were supposedly sent by an individual residing on Juan Pablo Duarte Street, in Santiago, and would be received by a woman who, according to the manifesto, resides in an apartment on Shakespeare Avenue, in the Bronx, United States.
