Man wanted for bank robbery was caught with 143 kilos of cocaine

March 30, 2017 by Staff News Writer

Officers of the Armed Forces arrested a man with 154 packages of cocaine, when the police was searching for a vehicle suspected of involvement in an assault in Heredia.

Officers inspected the vehicle that had double lining at the rear and located 143 kilos of cocaine. The suspect’s name is Marín and he was caught in the parking lot of a supermarket in San Francisco de Heredia.

On Monday afternoon, the Public Force received a complaint about a bank robbery involving a 4 × 4 blue vehicle.

However, both the Public Force and the Judicial Investigation Agency did not report any assault to a banking entity in the sector, so it is believed that they “delivered” the subject.
