PRESS RELEASE

SAN JUAN.– Late yesterday afternoon, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers seized 25.35 Kilos (55.89 pounds) of cocaine and 4.57 Kilos (10.08 pounds) of heroin found inside a cargo container arriving from the Dominican Republic.

During the random inspection of containers from vessel UNI-CHART arriving from Caucedo, Dominican Republic, a container was selected for further inspection after scanning imaging revealed an anomaly. 

Inside the container a black canvass bag was found that contained 28 bricks of suspected narcotics, which field tested positive to heroin and cocaine. 

CBP contacted Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) for further investigation and proceedings. 

The estimated street value of the heroin is $483,000 and the estimated value of the seized cocaine is $270,000.

And the shippings contiue out of the DR.
If you want a legal shipment out of the DR you have to pay a tribute to the DR officials.
If you want an illegal shipment out of the DR then you have to pay more tribute to the DR officials.

Dammed if you do or dammed if you don't.

Selling drugs in the DR if you have good local connections is easy and safe. If you don't pay your tribute expect to be arrested though. Make sure those corrupt politicians, military, and police get their cut and you have a smooth operation.Send LF a Christmas basket too every year.
