Drug-Sniffing Dog Discovers Over 149kg of Marijuana in Argentina
A drug-sniffing dog in Argentina uncovers over 149 kg of cannabis hidden in trucks destined for Buenos Aires.

Recently, according to a report from Corrienteshoy, a drug-sniffing dog named "Lióngǒu" in Argentina uncovered over 149 kilograms of marijuana. The marijuana was hidden in trucks belonging to two logistics companies, en route from Misiones to Buenos Aires.

 

During a routine highway inspection, drug-sniffing canines detected a strong scent of cannabis, leading to the discovery of 72 kilograms and 570 grams of marijuana in a truck. Consequently, the driver was arrested, and the court ordered the confiscation of all drugs found in both instances of the operation.
