Anti-drug police in Colombia said Sunday they have seized 950 kg of drugs worth some 24 million U.S. dollars while raiding a cocaine manufacturing lab on the nation's northeastern border with Venezuela.
Drug squad chief General Alvaro Caro said the drugs had been found in a rural area 23 km from border city Cucuta.
"It (the drug) was pressed into a ball shape and not the typical shape used to pack cocaine," said Caro.
He said that the police had also seized 1.9 tons of solid chemical used in producing cocaine, alongside 10,500 liters of liquid feedstock.
Some 50 officers took part in the raid and no arrests were reported.
