Overview
- Officers say the gray Toyota Hilux evaded a road check near Garza and was later found at kilometer 593 by Lugones, where its occupants fled into nearby brush.
- The pickup carried 35 bales totaling 756.020 kilograms of fraccionated coca leaves, which were formally seized and placed at the disposal of Federal Justice.
- Two Jujuy residents in a Ford EcoSport were intercepted near the scene, questioned, and their vehicle was scanned with an X-ray device and checked by K9, both yielding negative results for drugs.
- Cash and a cellphone were seized from the EcoSport, and authorities confirmed the woman has an active arrest warrant from Córdoba under drug and customs laws.
- The fiscal office in Añatuya and the provincial drug division coordinated the operation, pending chemical analysis of the cargo as police continue ground searches for the fugitives.
