iciHaiti - DR : Seizure of 1.5 tons of smuggled garlic from Haiti
On Friday at dawn, members of the Specialized Land Border Security Corps (CESFRONT) accompanied by the C-2 Intelligence Service of Montecristi and Dajabón seized 1.5 tons of contraband garlic from Haiti in a boat.

General Sugar Putzi Frugis Martínez, Director of Cesfront, said the smuggled goods were found near the port of La Piedra in Montecristi, where the army seized 150 bags of garlic weighing 22 pounds each.

Garlic was introduced to Dominican territory by the maritime border with Haiti, in a home-made boat, equipped with two outboard motors, 40 HP Yamaha Enduro.

The Cesfront has indicated that the garlic as well as the boat and the outboard engines will be delivered to the Montecristi prosecutor's office for the purposes of the corresponding law.

Recall that this is the second seizure in less than two weeks, after that of 1.2 tons of contraband garlic from Haiti by soldiers of the 10th Battalion of the Dominican Army in the province of Dajabón seized on board of a vehicle https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-25076-icihaiti-contraband-1-2-tons-of-garlic-seized-from-haiti.html
