One thousand, two hundred and seventy-seven pounds of cocaine, packed tightly into twenty-five and a half bales, were seized by a team of police officers deep inside the forests of Mountain Pine Ridge on Tuesday morning. It followed an intense anti-drug operation to locate the illicit payload when a small drug plane came down hard on an improvised landing strip. So far, police have rounded up seven men and eighth is believed to be on the lam. Commissioner of Police Chester Williams, flanked by Commander of Operations, ACP Alford Grinage, detailed the recovery mission and how they came across a wounded Mexican pilot in the Mountain Pine Ridge wilderness.
