These were discovered hidden inside a shipping container at the Caucedo Multimodal Port in Boca Chica, Santo Domingo. The container was scheduled to be sent to the United Kingdom.

Operation details

Following a tip about potential contraband, DNCD agents, along with anti-narcotics military personnel and canine units, conducted a thorough inspection of several containers in transit. 

Their efforts focused on detecting any irregularities within the shipments. It was during this search that they identified anomalies in one container that had arrived from Kingston, Jamaica.

Upon opening the suspicious container, authorities found 49 cardboard boxes packed with a total of 1,061 packages of marijuana. 

This sizable quantity of drugs was concealed among jars of preserves and condiments, ostensibly destined for London.
