San Jose, Sep 21 (EFE) Ten Costa Rican police officers have been arrested for aiding Colombian drug traffickers, authorities said.
Costa Rica’s Drug Control Police (PCD) have also arrested three Colombian nationals who were allegedly involved in the crime along the Pacific coast.
Former head of anti-drug programme in central Pacific region is among the detainees.
The officials ensured that the drugs reach a warehouse in Central Valley, warned traffickers of anti-drug operations and tipped them off about the areas under surveillance, the PCD said.
Police have made three seizures, totalling more than 2.5 tonnes of cocaine, since July, officials said, adding that these drugs were linked to the suspects in this case.
