Plenty of drums wrapped in tarpaulin come out of the container warehouse.

Also, you can see yellow liquid glistening in the plastic barrel.

They are all liquid cocaine mixed with a mixture of cocaine raw materials.

A woman in her 20s, who had been storing 452 kilograms of liquid cocaine in a warehouse in Gyeonggi-do, was arrested by the maritime police.

[Joongbu Regional Maritime Police Agency Drug Investigation Unit Investigator: Arrested at 14:40 PM. Cocaine possession and storage charges, attorney can be appointed, unfavorable statements can be rejected, and arrest suit can be filed.

In July, Mr. A stored liquid cocaine smuggled by ship from abroad at the request of a Canadian drug supply policy.

The gang tried to bring cocaine into the liquid, process it into solids, and distribute it to hide its unique smell.

[Choi Chi-yong / Head of Narcotics Investigation Department of the Jungbu Regional Maritime Police: Sniffer dogs can't smell it, if they're liquid. So he stated that he used that kind of technique.]

Earlier, the Coast Guard arrested three people, including the Canadian drug supply plan, and handed them over to the prosecution, and seized 60 kilograms of solid cocaine.

It can be administered by 2 million people at the same time, and the market price is worth 180 billion won.

In addition, A's boyfriend, who was arrested while trying to purchase and resell 1kg of cocaine from the main culprit, was also found to have participated in transporting and storing liquid cocaine, and is considering additional charges.

The Coast Guard handed over Mr. A to the prosecution in custody and is pursuing two Colombian engineers who left the country with arrest warrants.
