Valledupar: Police dismantle clandestine ice factory - Other Cities - Colombia

A clandestine ice factory that operated in the Villalba neighborhood, located north of Valledupar, was dismantled by the Cesar authorities.

The operation was carried out by the Fiscal and Customs Police (Polfa), in coordination with the Directorate of National Taxes and Customs (Dian), after the community in this sector alerted about the mobilization of vehicles, as well as the suspicious entry and exit of people in this sector.

According to information from the Police, ice was produced in the establishment without the minimum health conditions, as required by the registry of the National Institute for Food and Drug Surveillance (Invima).

The respective investigative work of the uniformed officers revealed that, for the process of ice making, dirty containers and water taken directly from the pipe were used, without prior purification controls.

During the procedure, it was found that they carried out these activities in deplorable conditions.

“During the procedure it was found that they carried out these activities in deplorable conditions. Most of them were made outdoors, allowing the proliferation of contaminating pests of the product”, explained a member of the Fiscal and Customs Police (Polfa).

So far, the value of the seized product and who would be behind this lucrative business is unknown, since no arrests were recorded during the raid.

“Invima officials applied the sanitary measure of total suspension of work or services in this place. Similarly, they destroyed and denatured the product. Different invoices were seized that indicate that the ice was sold in restaurants and bars in this town, ”said the Fiscal and Customs Police (Polfa).

Fraudulent drugs

The authorities also warn about the growing commercialization of medicines and dietary supplements in Cesar, without the respective health registration for their entry into this country.

The alert was launched after the frequent seizures of fraudulent medicines in this department.
