Bogota, May 1 (Inditop.com/EFE) Police and armed forces have destroyed 22 laboratories situated in the Colombian jungles where narcotics were being refined.
Over one tonne of cocaine, nine tonnes of coca leaves and drug-processing chemicals were found and destroyed Friday, officials said.
The discovery was made in the jungles of Cumaribo and Marandua in Vichada province where an organisation led by one of Colombia’s most-wanted criminals, Pedro Oliveiro Guerrero alias Cuchillo, had set up two clandestine aircraft landing strips as well.
The Colombian government has also offered a reward of up to $2.5 million for information leading to the arrest of Cuchillo.
