DNCD thwarts cocaine shipment to Pennsylvania hidden inside a wall clock

Santo Domingo.- Agents of the National Drug Control Directorate (DNCD) and members of the Public Ministry, supported by inspectors from the Dominican Postal Institute, seized two sheets of cocaine that were to be sent to Pennsylvania, United States, hidden inside a wall clock.

Agents and canine units, coordinated by a prosecutor, were verifying the shipments in one of Inposdom's warehouses when they found a box with five watches. In one of them, they confiscated a substance wrapped in aluminum foil, with a weight exceeding 300 grams of cocaine.

The box, according to the manifest, was sent by an individual residing on El Brisal Street, Santo Domingo, and would be received by a woman who supposedly resides in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, United States.
