Drug Traffickers Rising in Costa Rica
Drug Traffickers Rising in Costa Rica - Prensa Latina: "The number of drug traffickers near the schools of the capital is rising faster and faster, Public Security Vice Minister Rafael Angel Gutierrez confirmed Sunday.
According to a Security report, Costa Rican police caught 170 drug dealers within four months, trafficking marihuana, crack, among other toxic substances, around school institutions in the city.
The document specifies arrests happened on February 7, at the start of the academic school year, and on June 14.
However, Gutierrez explained the majority of these drug traffickers are released because they just carry minimum quantities of these substances, justifying it as for personal consumption.
The Office for Childhood and Adolescents of Public Education Ministry Coordinator Rocio Solis confirmed there is consumption of these drugs at schools."
