Tuesday, Dominican military authorities seized 448 pounds (203 kg) of marijuana at the land border at the Bomba checkpoint in Jimaní, province of Independencia.

Members of the Specialized Corps of Border Land Security (CESFRONT) and the Department of Border Intelligence Operations (DOIF) arrested and seized a truck from Haiti, on which they found 60 marijuana bags.

The authorities said that the Haitian driver had managed to escape, leaving the abandoned truck in the hands of the military.

In the presence of the Deputy Prosecutor, Sonny Adriano Rosario, from the municipality of Jimani the agents proceeded to the search of canter type vehicle where they detected the drug cache.

The truck and the drugs are in the possession of the CESFRONT authorities, while the military units are trying to find the driver of the vehicle.
