Police dismantled a drug-trafficking organization located in Lomas del Río

October 21, 2016 by Staff News Writer

The Drug Control Police (PCD) captured 3 members of an alleged Nicaraguan, drug-trafficking organization that operated near a school located in Lomas del Río Rincón Grande in Pavas.

A 35-year-old man with consular card, surnamed Molina, and 2 women, surnamed Hernández and Berrios, were arrested.

They seized 249 doses of crack, 7 doses of marijuana and cash, that would have apparently been obtained by selling illegal drugs.

An anonimous complaint to the 1176 made it possible to dismantle the gang.
