Santo Domingo.– Dominican officers have seized 300 kilograms of cocaine hidden in crates of root vegetables that were going to be exported to Puerto Rico.

According to the National Drug Control agency, the drugs were found in a truck filled with yucca roots and sweet potatoes Saturday morning during a routine inspection outside Santo Domingo.

Agency spokesman Roberto Lebron says the vegetables were intended to be loaded onto a ship bound for Puerto Rico. The driver of the truck has been held for questioning, but there have been no arrests.

I wonder WHo it was that said those smuggling-rats would find another way to smuggle their poison

So much for those A-29 Super Tucanos.

NOW...I guess the GOONS will just have to shoot a doper out of the sky to justify the cost...

300 keys is NOT A LOT OF POISON

JUST WAIT TIL IT'S 3 tons...now that's a lot of Coke

it was a diversion tactic, there was another container loaded with 900 kilos, 300 kilos was part doing business and it's already factor in the price. These guys are running the joint like real experience hardened politicians

Yucas y batatas con perico! Que combinacion.

No wonder the farmers don't want to grow anything else? The money is now in Yucas y Batatas!

This gives a new spin to the concept of Viveres, trozos, etc.

You've come a long way baby since Trujillo's cruel joke about the peasant (guardias) soldiers not understanding marching orders; "Ellos solo saben de yuca y batata"; He suggested these orders be given:
"Al lado de la yuca ( to the right), al lado de la batata" (to the left).

Perhaps he predicted this incident? It might be the wave of the future. Yu-coca and Bata-pase.

BTW: Pericolo means danger in Italian! Cojelo con suavena, papo!

Back by popular demand,................................................ not!

Just checking the penal colony here.
Reviewing the barracks and the compound's condition.
All seems to be in the same condition as I saw it before.
Some things never, ever change.
Especially, the amount of kilos miraculously seized. More money, more murder, more kilos.
This is a real growth industry. Johnson's Baby powder.
