An old ship toting the valuable cargo was found off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica near Panama on its way from Colombia with an estimated $106 million in marijuana. Nobody was arrested in this incident as the crew abandoned the ship and could not be found. The drugs are now awaiting destruction by police officials in Heredia.<br />In a second drug bust just before the end of the year, about 15,000 marijuana plants were uprooted in Talamanca, on the southern Caribbean coast. These plants are destined to meet a similar end.<br />The year end totals show that about 63 people were arrested per day through 2007 for drug related activity. The majority of these were small offenses with less than 400 people being arrested for actually dealing drugs. This number includes 94 foreigners.<br />Authorities from the Drug Control agency noted that a large number of tips came in from outside the agency to help bring the drug dealers to justice.
