Suriname’s Combating International Drugs team (BID team) seized 593 kilograms of cocaine in 17 boxes from a Surinam Airways (SLM) plane departing from Paramaribo for Amsterdam, an Airbus A340-300 registered PZ-TCW formerly leased to Air Belgium as OO-ABD.
The drug shipment was hidden in the engine room beneath the cockpit. The interception followed a report of a disturbance, prompting an investigation by the maintenance department and the involvement of the BID team. The case has been transferred to the Narcotics Brigade for further inquiry.
Additionally, a larger shipment of over 2,000 kilograms of cocaine was intercepted during the extinguishing of a fire in a Nickerie district warehouse. The seized drugs were transported to the police headquarters in Nieuw-Nickerie, with the area extensively cordoned off.
