An aircraft full of drugs

Minister of Security Gustavo Mata informed yesterday morning that the aircraft that fell at Finca Los Marín, in Parrita, was carrying drugs.

In addition, based on the model of the aircraft, it is estimated that it could be loaded with 300 or 400 kilos of drugs.

This was confirmed by the analysis done by the Ministry of Security, an entity that maintains a Public-Force and Special-Forces operation in the area of the incident, because it is believed that the suspects have not abandon the scene.

It was carrying a heavy load of drugs and the pilot was removed. The testimony is clear, conclusive and we handle the hypothesis that they have not left,

said the official, who explained that the suspects prepared the runway and had planned the landing in the area.

According to Minister Mata, the subjects needed less than 5 minutes to escape, but the operations are maintained because the region is full of mangroves and farms.
