An investigation by the Ligua Prosecutor’s Office and the PDI achieved the arrest of a man holding more than 500 ecstasy pills. The drug was shipped by parcel from the capital between auto parts.

The illicit substance had been sent to Coquimbo, being in the sights of the Prosecutor’s Office, which together with the Costa Norte Investigations Police, managed to apprehend the person responsible.

This was registered just as the subject carried out the withdrawal of the package, which contained 532 doses of the synthetic drug, whose consumption has been increasing in recent years.

In this regard, the prosecutor of La Ligua, José Ramírez, announced that the shipments were made through recognized parcel companies with national distribution and that to disguise their content, they hid it among auto parts that had a number of items. In this way, they managed to circumvent the police control.


The substance, which would be marketed in Zapallar, was valued at more than 8 million pesos.

The man after being formalized for the crime of drug trafficking, was left with the precautionary measure of total house arrest and national roots. Measures that will be maintained during the 120 days of the investigation.
