The Colombian National Army in operations with the National Navy, in coordination with the National Police of Colombia and interinstitutional with the Attorney General's Office, decided to dismantle two laboratories for the processing of cocaine, which hid approximately two and a half tons of this narcotic.
Troops of the Aviation Division of Air Assault through the Command against Drug Trafficking and Transnational Threats, in support of the Sixth Division, simultaneously carried out two military operations through motorized movements. In one of them, they made river infiltration to the point where the body of water led them to approach the mainland, there they disembarked and continued the infiltration by land.
The soldiers arrived at two hamlets located in the municipality of Puerto Asís, Putumayo, where they found two mega-cocaine laboratories that, according to military and police intelligence, belonged to the residual organized armed group Gao-r E48 Comandos de frontera.
The material found by the troops that was delivered to the authority, consists of approximately 2,130 kilograms of cocaine hydrochloride, 1,500 kilograms of solid supplies, 2,610 gallons of liquid supplies, along with material and equipment such as electric generators, microwaves, large-scale containers, among other elements that are used for the production of the drug.
With this operation it was possible to hit the finances of this organized armed group for more than ten billion pesos, preventing the production of about two tons of cocaine hydrochloride per month.
