Peruvian police seized 193 kg of cocaine

Peruvian police seized 193 kg of cocaine in an anti-drug operation in the southern province of Ica, the police announced Saturday.
The cocaine, packaged in 180 small bags with a market value of over 1 million U.S. dollars, was found in an empty bus Friday. The driver was arrested on the spot, said the police.
With an annual output of nearly 300 tons of cocaine, Peru, located in a drug producing area known as "the Silver Triangle" in South America, is the world's second largest cocaine producer after Colombia.
