Man Arrested in Panama with 91 Fragments of Crack

In Panama, a citizen walking suspiciously was apprehended by units of the National Border Service (Senafront) while in possession of 91 white rock-like fragments, presumed to be the drug known as crack. The individual was arrested in the Nuevo Amanecer area of Guabito, Bocas del Toro province, and handed over to the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Drug Crimes. Additionally, authorities found two mobile phones and cash on him, believed to be proceeds from the sale of the illicit substance, linked to microtrafficking. So far this year, Senafront has captured 148 individuals linked to drug trafficking and microtrafficking, reinforcing its offensive against border crime.
