Police in Peru Burn Over 5 Tonnes of Drugs
Police in Peru burn over five tonnes of confiscated drugs in a final drug burn of the year. Full Story: Police in Peru carried out the final drug burn of the year on Thursday. Over five tonnes of seized illegal substances with a US market value of 158 million dollars was destroyed. Police vehicles transported the mass of confiscated drugs to a heavily guarded police base in Lima where they were later burned. [Wilfredo Pedraza, Peruvian Minister of the Interior]: "We are here at the incineration, the fifth incineration of the year, and in this category we have broken a record in the seizure of cocaine paste, cocaine, marijuana, and the eradication of coca leaf crops - for these reasons I think this has been an interesting year for the fight against drugs, and it highlights the will of the government to tackle drug trafficking head on." The burn brought the total quantity of drugs destroyed in Peru in 2012 to 41.1 tonnes - a record for the South American nation.
