According to ecuavisa.com, an operation at Guayaquil port resulted in the seizure of 1.6 tonnes of drugs that were hidden inside industrial machinery.
The discovery was made by competent authorities during an inspection of the port facilities. The drugs had been concealed inside industrial-type equipment, apparently with the aim of evading security controls at the facility.
