Drug dealers die in Cocaine fire

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) — Dominican authorities say two suspected drug dealers have died of smoke inhalation after trying to burn cocaine before police could find it.

The spokesman of the National Drug Control agency says that Mauricio Encarnacion Castillo and Ramon Antonio del Rosario set the evidence on fire after exchanging gunfire with police conducting a raid.

Roberto Lebron said Wednesday that the house then caught fire and the men died of smoke inhalation.

He says police detained two other people during Tuesday's raid in San Pedro de Macoris.
