A narcotics police taskforce in Panama has stopped a significant shipment of a 'presumed illicit substance” bound for the Port of Tauranga.
The Public Ministry/Prosecutor's Office of Panama confirms in a statement that the National Aeronaval Service of Panama (SENAN), in conjunction with the Aeronaval Operations Center of Panama (CROAN) and the drug Prosecutor's Office of both Colón and Guna Yala took seizure of items on a merchant ship on Friday, October 22.
The ship was transiting through Panama on its way from Manaus, Brazil, to the Port of Tauranga in New Zealand.
