The Ecuadorian Police have reported the seizure of more than a ton of cocaine in various vehicles in towns in the Ecuadorian regions of Guayas and Orellana. One of the shipments was to be sent to Europe.

The national director of investigations of the National Police, General Alain Luna Villavicencio, has reported that the operation was launched after learning that a criminal structure had contaminated a truck container with drugs, according to the Ecuadorian newspaper ‘El Comercio ‘.

The substance, 810 kilos of cocaine hydrochloride, was camouflaged in a shipment of teak wood from the Balzar canton, Guayas province. The product was going to be shipped to European countries. The drug could have reached a value of 1.4 million euros in the Ecuadorian market and 4.5 million in Europe, according to Police estimates.

In a second operation, 234 kilos of cocaine were found in several vehicles.
