The Colombian Navy, through the Amazon Coast Guard Group, during interagency operations with the Anti-Drug Directorate of Peru, reported the finding and subsequent destruction of two illegal constructions for the production of cocaine hydrochloride in the district of Yavari - Peru.
Guided by intelligence information, units of the National Police of Peru, arrived at a wooded area in the Amazon River in the Nueva Jerusalem town, district of Yavari – Peru, during the searches they found two constructions that were used by criminal organizations to produce the narcotic, containing 2,347 gallons of gasoline-type fuel, solid precursors, machinery among other elements.
In particular, narcotics were found by troops in a liquid state, which was analyzed by the Approved Preliminary Identification Test – PIPH, whose result was positive for 1,362 kilograms of cocaine hydrochloride.
With this result, it was possible to hit the financial structures of transnational criminal organizations that commit crimes such as drug trafficking, who will not receive approximately $45 million of the sale of more than three and a half million doses of cocaine hydrochloride abroad.
In the same way, the forests that are cut down for the construction of these illegal constructions are recovered, while the residues of the chemical substances used during the process of making the narcotics are prevented from being left in the soils and water sources, generating pollution in the area, damaging the ecosystems. The drug along with the material was put into custody of the authorities of Peru.
