Panama<\/strong>.- Panamanian authorities reported this Tuesday the seizure of a total of 600 packages of drugs and the arrest of two suspects during two separate operations carried out in a beach area on the Caribbean coast and a port terminal in the Pacific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most voluminous shipment, consisting of 530 packages of narcotics, was found hidden in a vessel with a double bottom in Playa Chiquita, on the Costa Arriba of Col\u00f3n (Caribbean), in a coordinated action between personnel from the Public Ministry’s (MP) anti-drug prosecutor’s office and agents from Panama’s National Aeronaval Service (Senan).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“During the proceeding, two men of Panamanian nationality were apprehended, who will be brought before a Guarantee Judge for the formulation of charges and the application of precautionary measures<\/strong>,” stated an MP press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another stash of 70 drug packages was seized “inside a container with traceability to Germany, transshipment in Panama, and final destination Australia,” in an operation by agents of the National Police (PN) and the Public Ministry (MP) carried out “at a Pacific port,” according to a statement from the security agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Panama, seized drug packages usually weigh approximately one kilogram each, and the illicit substance most seized by authorities is cocaine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 26, Panamanian authorities seized a shipment of 1,096 packages of drugs in Panamanian Pacific waters<\/strong> near the border with Costa Rica, also in a joint operation between Senan agents and the anti-drug prosecutor’s office of Panama<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
