During an anti‑drug operation on December 10, authorities at Tocumen International Airport seized a bag containing a suspected illicit substance. The drugs were hidden inside small cylinders stored in the airport’s cargo warehouse. The National Police worked with the Public Ministry to intercept the contraband, which was originally manufactured in Panama and intended for shipment to Australia. Earlier, two transparent plastic wrappers were discovered inside a water pump destined for the United States, hinting at a broader smuggling network. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of Panama’s law‑enforcement efforts in disrupting drug trafficking routes.
