The material found, which would have cost of more than 3,382 million pesos, was ready to be sent to Central America and the United States.
In the framework of operations carried out in the southwest of the country, troops of the Rapid Deployment Force No. 2, of Colombian National Army, in coordination with the National Police, carried out the finding and destruction of a cocaine hydrochloride laboratory that apparently belonged to the residual organized armed group so called Coordinadora Guerrillera Nacional Bolivariana.
The soldiers of the Rapid Deployment Battalion Nº 4, together with Legal Medicine experts, arrived at Nazareth village, in Ricaurte, Nariño department, to consolidate the finding of 1,797 kilos, with 438 grams of cocaine hydrochloride. This material would be destined for routes to Central America and the United States and this would cost more than 3,382 million, which represents a direct blow to the financial structure of criminal organizations.
The illegal complex had construction for large-scale production, specialized equipment and various chemical precursors, which are used in the production of narcotics. This laboratory destroyed disturbs the logistical, military and monetary operations capacity of the residual organized armed group National Bolivarian Guerrilla Coordination, which commits crimes in this strategic region of the Nariño Pacific.
This result demonstrates the scope of the joint operations and the coordinated work conducted by the military Forces, the National Police and the technical investigation agencies, who are constantly putting permanent pressure on the routes used by drug trafficking for the shipment of shipments to international markets.
