| Birds of a feather Humans have the walls and the concrete chairs as well as places around the fast food exits. But where do pigeons hang out? The answer, it seems, are the skylights for the Museos del Banco Central that for some reason the well-fed pigeons prefer. |

By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
Investigators have confiscated 840 kilos of cocaine that was being moved north along the Pacific coast. Some 440 kilos were located in a launch that the Guardacosta intercepted near the eastern shore of the Nicoya peninsula. The local agents Thursday found 400 kilos buried in a pit. Three persons were detained, and officials are seeking others. They said the operation was a joint Costa Rica-Colombian effort. The investigation also disclosed a new two-step route for drugs. The drugs were believed to have been hiding along the Río Sierpe in the Osa Peninsula. The boat that was |
intercepted
was moving drugs
north to a property that the Judicial Investigating Organization said
was at Playón on the Isla Jesusita in the Gulf of Nicoya. The sparse population, the heavy cover and the many inlets make the Osa region a prime area for offloading drugs. The three persons detained were the captain of the boat, 50-year-old Luis Loría Granados and two men on the island, Aniel Camareno Vivas, 34, and José Esquivel Barrantes, 19. Agents said that another man, also believed to have been involved in drug trafficking, vanished while making a run from the Osa north. They are not sure what happened. They suspect foul play. |
