The authorities of Paraguay arrested six people and seized 456 kilos of drugs / The substance was hidden in the double bottom of a truck that was circulating protected by a shuttle vehicle
In the last few hours, the authorities of Paraguay reported the seizure of the first large drug cache in that environment, about half a ton located in the double bottom of a truck.
“We captured six people and seized more than 456 kilos of cocaine in the area of Yabebyry, Misiones,” official sources from the National Anti-Drug Secretariat (SENAD) point out. The cargo was hidden in a double-bottomed system of a car that, in addition, was protected by a shuttle vehicle. Both were intercepted.
The police operation, developed in coordination with the Prosecutor's Office, took place on the route that connects Yabebyry with the district of Panchito López, next to the aforementioned Paraná River and near the borders with neighboring Brazil. It is likely that the substance ended up in the hands of the cartels of the neighboring country, although all hypotheses are open at this time. The last similar operation took place just a week earlier, with a similar seizure, but this is the first large drug cache of the year 2025.
