The first operation was carried out thanks to information of the Colombian Navy, thanks to the interception of a go fast boat that was manned by four individuals 41 nautical miles south of Cabo Caucedo in the Dominican Republic, inside 23 sacks with 659 rectangular packages were found by troops, which after Identification Tests, turned out to be 679.55 kilograms of cocaine hydrochloride.
In the second operation, it was possible to find 768.55 kilograms of cocaine hydrochloride 36 nautical miles south of Punta Palenque - Dominican Republic, with the interception of a boat in which four individuals were traveling with 743 rectangular packages of illicit substance.
In the third operation, the interception of a go fast boat was carried out 13 nautical miles south of Punta Palenque, which was manned by three individuals carrying 355.28 kilograms of cocaine hydrochloride.
