SANTO DOMINGO. - In an uncommon action several individuals used a fierce breed of dog to keep Drugs Control (DNCD) agents from searching a cocaine house in the sector Villa Consuelo, operated by a woman known as "La Rubia.”

At 6:30 p.m. Monday the agents accompanied by an Assistant Prosecutor went to in an alley of the street Florentino Tejeda, where they later found 21 portions of cocaine, said DNCD spokesman Roberto Lebrón.

“An element unknown so far was in the place and when noticing the presence of the DNCD let loose a very aggressive dog that seems to be a Rottweiler to prevent the confiscation of what was in that place, but however didn’t keep the agents and the public prosecutor from complying with their responsibility," he said.

It’s the second time drug traffickers use an animal of this type to prevent their arrest, the first occurred in sector La Augustina, where less than a year ago a DNCD team was forced to shoot a similarly aggressive dog.
