Argentine National Gendarmerie (GNA) arrested a man who was transporting marijuana in his car. Members of Squadron 47 “Ituzaingó”, deployed on National Route No. 12, near the access to the town of Villa Olivari, observed how a vehicle occupied by two people began to carry out maneuvers with the clear intention of evading the checkpoint, under the copious rain at night.
The man who occupied the passenger seat got out brandishing a firearm and fired shots at the personnel, while he entered the area of wetlands and weeds, without being able to be apprehended.
After arresting the driver and securing the area, the gendarmes found 441 packages that were being transported by the car. They dumped a weight of 344 kilos of “Cannabis Sativa”.
The Federal Court of Corrientes ordered to deepen the investigations by carrying out a raid in the city of Posadas. Members of Squad 50 “Posadas” with the support of the Special Investigations and Judicial Procedures Unit “Misiones” seized a package with 505 grams of marijuana, a replica firearm, a cell phone and documentation of interest to the case in a home. .
The driver of the vehicle remains detained incommunicado.
