Manta, MANABI
There were 36 packages that Blek, a canine from the Police Antinarcotics Unit of Subzone 13 of Manabí, detected inside a double cab truck. The agents stopped the car this Friday on the Rocafuerte-Manta road.
According to the profile and information received by the National Police, two vehicles were detained: one served as a kind of advanced group to detect possible controls on the road and the other, a van, in a thorough review the police found 36 packages brick type, each weighing a kilo of marijuana.
Rodny Chávez, chief of Subzone 13 of the Manabí Police, said that the preliminary investigation indicated that alkaloid was being transported in a vehicle, presumably for the internal trafficking of substances in Manta, and that the origin of said seized shipment was Esmeraldas.
