The officer announced that the seizing was staged in the Santa Marta port, in northeast Colombia. Thanks to the police’s actions, supported by canine brigades, the commercialization of more than 2.4 million doses, valued at 34 million euros, was prevented.

Salamanca added that this time, the drug dealers changed the traditional rectangular shape of the packages to avoid attracting the attention of those who check the cargo with scanners. The Colombian Navy also reported this Thursday the seizure of more than 1.3 tons of cocaine in Colombian Pacific waters and the arrest of four people who were transporting the shipment in a boat.
