In order to disguise 40 kilos of cocaine in Paso Canoas, a man wrote words like “happy day”, “Texas”, “Team”, “100%” and “J” on them.

Costa Rican authorities arrested a subject, surnamed Sánchez, who was driving a vehicle. He hid the drugs in a secret compartment in the trunk. He had no records.

The packages were wrapped with tape and they were seized by Drug Control Police (PCD) officers.

The PCD reported that they seized 40 kilograms of cocaine and the packages where it was hidden had different legends.
