SANTO DOMINGO.- The National Drugs Control Agency (DNCD) dealt another major blow to organized crime Sunday night, seizing 758 packages of cocaine and 10 of heroin headed to Holland, at Caucedo Port, Boca Chica, the country’s busiest container terminal.

 DNCDpresident Rolando Rosado on Monday said the 25 packages of drugs were hidden in electronic security equipment in a container aboard the freighter Captain Ricarda, which was about to set sail for the port at Rotterdam, Netherlands.

"This seizure came after a month-long investigation carried out by the DNCD, together with Puerto Multimodal security members," Rosado said in a statement, on which its spokesman Roberto Lebron didn’t provide any details but said there were several arrests and raids in Santo Domingo.

He said the investigation revealed that the drugs came from South America and that the suspects who entered the country "have been properly identified and we guarantee there will be arrests.”

The DNCD has yet to provide the weight of the drugs.

Proof is in actions not words when hearing from our government.Danilo needs to get the names out and get them arrested.That is a large shipment and normally would be weighed right away and the weight of the drugs and values of all confiscated goods listed. Typically whenever no quantities are given this is because it will be resold later by corrupt officials.This information or lack of makes me think we are still on the same path with our current president. Make me think differently and start making arrests, putting people in jail for a long time , and confiscating money and properties of these corrupt drug lords.
