WILLEMSTAD, ORANJESTAD - Not 5000 but 5500 kilos were intercepted Monday on a cargo ship from Punto Figo, Venezuela.
The Coast Guard authorities initially denied that they had received help from the Colombian Navy, but now it appears that they had been following the ship for some time.
When it entered the territorial waters of Aruba, the Coast Guard intervened. Increased drug seizures have been made in recent months.
