Arrests in connection with robbery cocaine at police station

Local | By Correspondent October 16, 2019

WILLEMSTAD - The Central Criminal Investigation Department arrested two men during house searches yesterday morning, including a 30-year-old former police officer.

Both related to the cocaine robbery at the police station in Rio Canario, one year ago. On October 14, 2018, perpetrators then broke into the police station and stole 600 kilos of seized cocaine. Possibly more agents or former agents are involved in the robbery.

The CCCTV cameras were all inoperative at that time.
