On Monday night, the Coast Guard in close cooperation with the Aruba Police Department detected a boat entering Aruba’s territorial waters in the direction of Rodgers Beach. Wardacosta immediately directed one of its Metal Shark boats that successfully intercepted the boat that was intended to enter Aruba with drugs on board.
On board were five men, four Venezuelans and one Colombian. The men on the boat were carrying four packs of drugs. The persons were handed over to the Aruba Police and the case is under investigation.
To continue to guarantee security at our borders, the Coast Guard works in close cooperation with its partners, the Aruba Police, Customs, Coast Guard and Immigration to combat all forms of crime.
