Costa Rica: record seizure of five tonnes of cocaine

Costa Rican police on Saturday made the largest drug seizure in its history by discovering more than five tonnes of cocaine hidden in a container that was to be loaded Sunday in the port of Limon.

The drugs were hidden in a shipment of ornamental flowers destined for the Dutch port of Rotterdam, said Interior Minister Michael Soto Rojas.

The police also arrested a 46-year-old suspect of Costa Rican nationality.

There are plenty of urine test kits available to analyze the availability of drugs in the urine. At the same time, there are some who claim to bypass the test. There are numerous online sources where they’ve explained how you can do this. One has to review on theblack, one of such blogs.

The suspect container had been spotted on Friday and its search proved successful on Saturday: the police discovered 202 suitcases there, containing a total of 5,048 packages of approximately one kilogram of cocaine each.
