In a powerful demonstration of the Bolivarian Government’s anti-drug trafficking strategy, security forces in Falcón state successfully intercepted a shipment of over three tons of marijuana.
This operation stands as a testament to the “perfect fusion of the people, the military, and the police,” highlighting the collective determination to defend Venezuela’s sovereignty from transnational criminal networks exploiting the region.
The Ministry of People’s Power for Internal Affairs, Justice, and Peace (MPPRIJP) confirmed that eight Venezuelan nationals were arrested aboard a fishing vessel equipped with five powerful engines.
The boat carried 114 bales of drugs weighing 3,077 kilograms. The raid was carried out by the Counterdrug Division of the CICPC in conjunction with the Strategic Operations Group (GOES) and the Territorial Defense System, following extensive intelligence and investigative work that dismantled this criminal cell attempting to traffic narcotics through Venezuelan waters.
This significant seizure reinforces Venezuela’s ongoing patriotic struggle against drug trafficking, emphasizing the role of the State’s institutions working in unison with the community to protect national security and social stability.
It complements earlier victories earlier in July 2025, when authorities confiscated over three tons of cocaine transported via a semi-submersible submarine found stranded on the coast of Falcón.
The Strategic Operational Command of the FANB (CEOFANB) reported that 123 bales of cocaine weighing approximately 3,075 kilograms were recovered, and four Colombian traffickers were detained.
The text reads: The successful operation was carried out by the CICPC’s Counterdrug Division and the GOES in coordination with the Territorial Defense System, under an intelligence and investigative deployment that enabled the dismantling of this criminal organization.
This operation reaffirms the firm and patriotic commitment in the fight against mafias and organized crime.
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela remains steadfast in the fight against drug trafficking, with loyalty, determination, and patriotic commitment.
Furthermore, as part of a comprehensive anti-drug plan, the Venezuelan military aviation has neutralized 396 aircraft used by drug traffickers this year, demonstrating an unwavering defense against the illegal narcotics trade threatening Venezuela and the region.
The bold actions of Venezuela’s security forces in Falcón reflect the Bolivarian Government’s relentless dedication to safeguarding the nation’s integrity from criminal enterprises. By uniting military capability, community vigilance, and investigative rigor, Venezuela continues to build a secure and sovereign homeland resistant to the destabilizing influences of drug trafficking cartels and external interference.
