Bogotá, March 5 (RHC) -- Almost 62,000 acres of coca leave crops and drug making laboratories were found in Colombia’s central state of Boyaca.
The land is believed to belong to criminal gangs working for drug traffickers, according to local media.
The crops and laboratories were discovered by troops belonging to the Armed Forces’ “Special Energetic Batallion,” and “Vial Number 6.”
Illegal drugs is one of the main issues being addressed at the ongoing negotiations between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) rebel group.
