Dominican Republic law enforcement drug operations

Overview

Law enforcement and military authorities in the Dominican Republic have conducted multiple operations targeting narcotics trafficking and criminal activity.

In Santo Domingo Este, the National Drug Control Directorate (DNCD) and the Public Ministry carried out anti-microtrafficking efforts that led to 44 arrests and the seizure of over 13,000 grams of suspected cocaine, marijuana, and ecstasy. The DEA commended these efforts following a major operation involving the seizure of 1,360 packages of cocaine and 30 blocks of marijuana.

In the southern region, the Dominican Army has intercepted drug shipments during vehicle inspections. In Vicente Noble, authorities seized approximately 2 kilograms of suspected cocaine and 90 pounds of marijuana from a van, resulting in the arrest of an Army private, Eduard Alexis Urbaez Urbaez. In Azua, military personnel discovered multiple packages of suspected marijuana concealed in a false bottom of a black Nissan pickup truck. The driver was detained, and the vehicle and substances remain in military custody pending legal proceedings by the Public Ministry and the DNCD.
