JAN 17 -- Mark R. Trouville, Special Agent in Charge, Drug Enforcement Administration, Miami Field Division, along with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency, and the Broward Sheriff’s Office, announces the seizure of 150 kilograms of cocaine from an aircraft in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
On January 13, 2008, a Beechcraft 1900 Twin Engine Turboprop, departed Ciudad Bolivar, Venezuela at 8:22 a.m. (EST). It arrived in La Romana, Dominican Republic at 11:00 a.m., departed at 2:40 p.m. and arrived at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport in Fort Lauderdale, Florida at 6:23 p.m. The airplane was searched at that time and 68 kilograms of cocaine were seized from the tail section of the aircraft. Pursuant to a further search of the plane on January 15, 2008, an additional 82 kilograms of cocaine were found hidden under the floor of the plane. This joint investigation remains on-going.

They didn't really say anything other than what I posted actually. Its still an ongoing investigation so I guess they are still dealing in the matter and don't want to release names.

I'm always curious about the details. We never get to find out about that. Do they just randomly decide which planes to remove panels from and search extremely thoroughly or were they playing the "work their way up the food chain" game with someone previously busted.
