A Piper PA-34 Seneca and 1100 kg of drugs were confiscated by armed forces in the Tibiti area, Suriname. A day later the airplane was made unfit for flying by Suriname authorities. Reports state the aircraft displayed Venezuelan registration, yet the validity hasn't been confirmed since it's common for traffickers to use false tail numbers.
