Pirate Taxi Was Really Drug Dealer
Calling a taxi in Quepos got you more than a ride to your destination, this according to police who arrested 25 year old, Vargas Tenorio, who in addition providing pirate taxi services, also used his taxi to distribute drugs.

The man known as "Pantera" was arrested last week after undercover police made several purchases. Tenorio was found with marked money in his possession at the time of the arrest, money used by police to buy 27 hits of crack.

The Pantera was known to locals and tourists alike, who sought out his kind of service. The man would make his deliveries to hotels and private homes in the Quepos and Manuel Antonio area, disguised as a pirate taxi - informal taxis that provide transportation.

"Pantera" will now spend the next three months in preventive detention in El Roble de Puntarenas while the prosecutor's office prepares its case.
