National Army troops, in coordination with the Anti-Narcotics Directorate of the Police, carried out the finding and destruction of a cocaine hydrochloride production laboratory in the village of Caño Seco, in San Alberto, department of Cesar.
This laboratory would be at the service of the organized armed group, GAO, Clan del Golfo, with economic profits of more than 1600 million pesos, due to a monthly production of 1.5 tons of this narcotic. This result prevents the distribution of about 762,500 doses to consumer markets.

This is the second laboratory in the rural area of San Alberto, department of Cesar, in 2025, and it leaves a significant damage to the illicit activities of the GAO Clan del Golfo and the armed wing of the organization.
