The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, in collaboration with the postal service and the Puerto Rico Police Department, dismantled Tuesday a drug ring that was bringing marijuana to the Caribbean island.

The head of the DEA’s Caribbean Division, Javier Peña, told media Tuesday that up to now 17 people have been nabbed in the Puerto Rican cities of Canovanas, Carolina, Loiza and San Juan.

Peña said that the traffickers, members, he said, of an extremely powerful organized crime group, were using the U.S. mail to smuggle marijuana into Puerto Rico.
